“For me, there’s simply no choice between responsible reforms of military compensation and making what our military leadership has called ‘disproportionate cuts to military readiness and modernization,’ ” Mr. Ryan wrote on a USA Today oped. “Every time we kick the can down the road, we put our troops’ combat readiness at risk. This agreement put forward one reform option, and I invite others to do the same.”
The two-year budget deal that passed Congress last week increases spending now in exchange for savings later and reduces the deficit by $23 billion over 10 years. The deal, authored by Mr. Ryan and Sen. Patty Murray, Washington Democrat, also cuts the cost-of-living adjustment to one percent below the consumer price index for military retirees younger than 62 and goes into effect in 2015.

This is OK as long as it doesn't affect Federal telework employees. We have subjected to numerous interruptions while saving our nation's energy and reducing the D.C. traffic problem. We are so responsible that, when we leave on our $100K retirements plans, we move out of the area where we spread the wealth in other States.

How Come the Senators or a 4 million dollar vacation to Hawaii does not take a pay cut
