I'm not surprised by anything a politician says. Medicare and Medicaid are always joined together by the DC dirt bags. The difference is that for the most part Medicare has been paid for by the person receiving it while Medicaid is medical welfare. Social Security has in most cases paid for by the recipient and SSI is welfare. Your Military pension you have paid for with time, danger and sometimes blood, you are entitled to it because you met your part of the bargain, and no one should question the fact that you expect their part of the bargain to be honored. I don't hear any political hack in DC demanding that all benefits be stopped for all illegal aliens, and I don't see any DC elected dip shit questioning foreign aid to anyone, not China, not Mexico and not the UN. I don't see these elected heroes questioning the pension that they have "earned" after a lot less than 20 years.
