MILITARY DISABLED VETERANS GETS THE SHAFT FROM THE POTUS BHO WHO KINDLY DOES NOTHING TO PROTECT THEIR BENEFITS YET THIS 2013 BUDGET PASSED BY THE HOUSE AND SENATE CALLS FOR MORE SPENDING FOR EVERYONE BUT THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SACRIFICE THE MOST TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION

A provision cutting the pensions of military retirees in the bipartisan budget deal that the Senate will vote on this week does not exempt disabled veterans, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Disabled retirees were previously thought to be exempt from the changes to military retiree pay, which could cost servicemembers up to $124,000 over a 20-year period.
The Free Beacon previously reported that military retirees under the age of 62 would receive 1 percentage point less in their annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in the plan crafted by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray (D., Wash.).
The section of the U.S. code that has been altered also applies to disabled servicemembers, many of whom have been wounded in combat.
