george soros funded Think tank recommends big benefits cuts

And this is released on the same day Obama signs a proclamation saying November is military family appreciation month.

Free

Free just ain't what it used to be..............

".........One idea would be to modify Tricare for Life benefits for Medicare-eligible retirees so that the program would not cover the first $500 of costs per year and would cover only 50 percent of the next $5,000................."

Hmmm, $500 + $2,500 = $3,000.

BMT, I "fixed" your thread title to reflect just how left- wing this think tank is....

Of course the socialists would like to reduce the size of the military by cutting benefits, it's the only part of the "federal government" they cannot control.

The list of other monoliths that could stand a 100% de-funding is a long one. As I've mentioned, that's an unemployment spike I could live with.
