Military Retiree Cuts “No Big Deal” to this douche bag KorbCob

No need to read his propaganda, its just regurgitating any anti-military diatribe you have ever heard to justify screwing the one group of people we should avoid hurting at all costs.

Great Reply to the bullcrap though:

Hmm where do I start with a dumbass anti-military article like this.  First, the military, retiree or otherwise, should be the last thing these turds cut.  Cut their own retirement, the freebies for the illegals, or the kickbacks to the states.
This cutting the military BENEFITS that were EARNED absolutely breaks faith with the military.  Doesnt matter if only 20% retire, we all understand you dont screw people over for something they earned just because their numbers are small. If that were the case we could go ahead and cut further into their retirements using your logic.
Working age, again you say its ok to screw the guys that are working age because of the ass-hat assumption that this is somehow okay in your book.  Their age should have nothing to do with how congress (and folks like you justifying it) screw someone over.
I don’t know what pot smoke filled room you wrote this garbage in, but NOTHING was given to retirees over the last decade, what little they received its all EARNED.  The COLA you mention is crap, it always lags inflation and active duty.  Retirement erodes over the years because the COLAs approved suck.  An 0-5 that retires now will make much less than an 0-5 that retires 20 years later.  Tircare sucks, many doctors will not take it and many only can afford to take a few at the pitiful rates Tricare pays them.  Now the rates all went up to thanks to Husseincare. Retirements are taxed, both federal and in many cases state levels.  This further decays what small retirement is received.
You need to go back to clown school or come see me and Ill slap some reality into your anti-military ass.

Krugman Calls for the Coin
January 08, 2013 – Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: Last Friday on Open Line Friday we had a call from a guy who wanted comment on the idea that had been put forth (you might remember this) that the government, someone would manufacture a platinum coin that would be said to be worth $1 trillion, and then the Federal Reserve would deposit that coin, and we’d have a trillion dollars. They just manufacture the coin. See, you can’t do that with other elements.

You can’t do it with gold or silver, because that’s already controlled. But there aren’t that many controls on platinum, apparently. So you could manufacture one coin, and the government could just say it’s worth a trillion dollars. You put that in the bank and then you draw down on it. If you’re the government, you start spending it. It’s a trillion-dollar coin.

So we had this guy calling talking about, “This is crazy. It makes no sense, it’s not founded in anything substantive, it’s not real. It might not even be legal.” Well, the idea is catching on. Paul Krugman of the New York Times loves the idea, which means that on every Democrat website and blog, millions of Americans are going to think that this is a good idea and worthwhile. This was a serious proposal. Paul Krugman, on the New York Times website, said that Obama should circumvent the debt ceiling by having the Treasury mint this trillion-dollar coin.

Just one.

If you could do two coins, it would be two trillion, and so on. And that coin would then be given to the Federal Reserve, and that would free up a trillion dollars of additional borrowing. It would not be used to pay down the debt. No, no, no! It would be used for additional spending. So Paul Krugman wrote, “Should President Obama be willing to print a $1 trillion platinum coin if Republicans try to force America into default?”

And Krugman said, “Yep, absolutely,” and people are serious about this. People on the left think that this is a brilliant idea, including Paul Krugman. So, because of this, the Republicans have introduced a bill that would ban the creation of a trillion-dollar platinum coin. Now, folks, you have to admit that this is the kind of stuff that banana republics do.

I mean, this is absurd. But it has the support of leading leftist Democrat journalists and economists, such as Paul Krugman. A $1 trillion coin! A platinum coin that’s worth probably 85¢ would just be said to be worth a trillion-dollars, and the government could spend it. It would be a trillion dollars we’d found, and we would have to print any additional money. It’s a miracle.
