What are our priorities?
What worries me about this is that it was a huge disconnect from Washington in terms of those who have sacrificed the most.
What worries me is that we grandfathered the Federal employees, meaning only new hires would get impacted by it.
FRA also supports the 'Down Payment to Protect National Security Act'.
That is a huge impact.
I think a disconnect with what happened in this budget agreement.
Now, the right thing to do is to fix it now, not to leave this hanging over our men and women's heads in terms of the unfair cuts here.
As far as I know, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee was not consulted on this cost-of-living increase cut.
I just hope that we can fix this wrong and right it now and not wait, Secretary Fox. I don't think we should wait.
It's a penalty.
A military retirement is very different in terms of the sacrifices that are made than your average civilian retirement; do you agree?
