It looks like the "finite" amount of money which could exist in our budget is being redistributed. Money is being re-distributed from those who earned those benefits by serving in our military to a shift to those who simply deserve them.

Just listened to a news commenter who was trying to justify the proposed military retiree benefits cutting deal. Very interesting. Let's see if the president will sign off on the cuts. He certainly likes the redistribution deals.

The general theory is that veterans are too young to receive all those benefits. I wonder if the same theory will hold for those youngsters age 21 and over who receive social security disability benefits because they are too stressed out to work like everyone else.

At least those getting the federal gifts make for a solid voting base.
