An American hero.
Got a name ??
An American hero.
You missed the Rev's point. He is saying (I believe) that military retirees COLA payments are tied to SS recipient's COLA raises. Why are SS recipients getting a $250. bribe, (err, I mean check) as Obama is proposing and not milatary retirees?
Personally I believe, even though it affects my family's income, that COLAs should not be paid if not warranted, but I also believe that bribes to old folks is just a cheap trick right before an election.
I'd ask Scooter Libby (what kind of man has scooter as a name?), but he's too busy trashing America's heroes in the CIA.

I think someone's having an "I ♥ LAMP" moment ... :dohAn all American jury found Scooter Libby guilty on four of the five counts he was charged with. Scooetr Libby was convicted of obstruction, perjury and lying to the FBI. His sentence was commuted by his good friend President Bush. Bush refuused the Vice Presdident's pleas to give Scooter a pardon. Why? Timeline: The CIA Leak Case : NPR

I will reply to how people post to me. You do NOT own any thread here. With these posts you youurself are guilty of derailing the thread.
Uhm who started it?
This thread is about no cola to disabled vets but a 250 bribe to seniors. Anything on the topic?
How is this even remotely relevant to the thread topic?Look at: May 29, 2003 and June 2003 - The Wilson-Plame-Novak-Rove Blame Game and there is the Indictment: http://www.justice.gov/usao/iln/osc/documents/libby_indictment_28102005.pdf

That's all very nice and also true, but nothing there about him "trashing" anyone. I suggest you actually read up on the subject before spouting off about things you know nothing about.
And that's enough off-topic discussion. If you want to be embarrassed further, start a thread.

The topic is COLA and disabled veterans. Focus on THAT. |

Military retirement pay is not the same as disability pay.....
Retirement pay is based on active duty pay charts, so if the military gets a 2% raise, retirees do as well.
Disability pay tends to go up every year, but not always...
I could be wrong...
2011 COLA for Retired Pay - Military Benefits - Military.com2011 COLA Watch: The Federal Government announced that the 2011 Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for military retirees, disabled veterans, and social security recipients will be zero for the second year in a row.
You are correct.... you are wrong. :lol:
Military retirement increases are tied to COLA. We get a military retirement check every month. No increase last year, but each year the COLA goes up, the retirement check goes up the same percentage.

Is this how we treat our disabled war fighters? This is a disgrace. If anything, this should be codified in law, and in future enlistment contracts that this money is hands off.
yup; BAH is going down in some area's, too. pay is still being increased, i think mine's going to go up about 30 bucks a month.
COLA is supposed to be tied to prices. prices don't go up, COLA doesn't go up.
everyone hates entitlements until it's their ox being gored
