So, let me get this right.

There is increased spending on the military and domestic budget, BUT, there are cuts in military and federal pensions.

Huh?

Call me crazy, but, just seems to me the increase in military and domestic spending could counter ? any ? need for their pensions to be cut.

Oh, wait. The cuts in pensions are going to fund high levels of spending for military and domestic contractors. Did I get that right? I think that is among the lowest blow any USA Budget could render. 

We ask military families to sacrifice as soldiers and officers are deployed and sometimes into dangerous places, putting their lives on the line for this country and we are going to ask them to sacrifice again while Wall Street contractors rack in the bucks?

And federal workers often work for less than the private sector and now their pensions are going to be cut so the government can fund their Wall Street contractors?

Why is that so obviously immoral? 

These folks didn't sign on for careers in the government or our military so that further down the line when they are preparing to retire, their pensions are cut so more spending can be done. That is outrageous.
