Another desolation after the war: US gov. to stiff Vets with another round of benefit cuts

Greetings,

  Most people do not know or understand why America is under such intense judgment. Well I want to inform you of the true reason. It is because of her mistreatment of her ex-slaves, the vessels of God in her midst. She has always mistreated us.

  She always seeks to do us ill. She is always planning our hurt to her amusement. Even in the face of divine judgment upon her today, she still hates us and seek our hurt. This comes even as she has a military full of us who are on the front lines defending her independence.

   …”Is not the history of ancient Babylon’s un-forgiven evils a sign that a future enslavement of God’s people (the American so-called Negro) will not be forgiven? Yet, there may be a chance, as Babylon had, but they will not do that which God desires them to do so that He may pardon them and forgive them and prolong their time.

  The Revelations of John’s prophecies were that they repented not of their evil deeds but blasphemed the very name of God (Rev. 16:9). Therefore, when a man is guilty of a great evil done against the cause of God and His people, he cannot be forgiven unless he seeks forgiveness himself.

  We see this in the working of the fall of America today. I say fall, for most surely this is the divine fall of America, as it was of ancient Babylon for its evils done to the Jews.

  Even to this late date, America does not want to repent of her evil done to her Black slaves.”–pg.132(tfoa)

  With her fiscal problems growing by the hour, and her debt burden which has become unbearable, we see that soon the empire will not only have to contend with outside forces who are steadily pushing their way in, but she will have to deal with the sword within as discontent grows, and her returning soldiers are stiffed by the government who sent them to war.

  You see, America does not want to admit to her trouble. For her black slave is still here. She is suffering one calamity right after another one. They will continue to increase in depth and in frequency.

 Military Update: Veterans could see benefits cut in effort to reduce federal deficit

Military members, retirees and veterans have a few more reasons to be wary of politicians who say their top priority is to cut federal spending.

The Congressional Budget Office on Wednesday released a report of more than 100 options for reducing budget deficits. It’s a timely product as House and Senate conferees strive to negotiate by mid-December a new debt-cutting deal to replace automatic budget cuts of sequestration.

More than a few of the CBO options are fresh ideas to roll back compensation for categories of veterans or to raise TRICARE fees for military retirees, on suggestions that the government is being too generous.

To be fair, CBO is not singling out veterans here. There are options in the report to make nervous many segments of society dependent on federal payments, from Social Security recipients to drug manufacturers.

But for select veterans’ programs, CBO makes some hard-edged points that lawmakers bent on cutting spending might find compelling, if not persuasive, to help address the nation’s debt crisis.

Here are some of those ideas:

Cap Military Pay Raises: From 2000 through 2010, Congress approved basic pay raises that averaged a half percentage point above private sector wage growth. The military could save $25 billion from 2015 to 2023 by reversing course, capping raises yearly at .5 percent below civilian wage growth. CBO predicts only a “minor” effect on force retention.

Evidence in favor of this move are data showing cash compensation for enlisted members now exceeds wages of 90 percent of civilian counterparts, well above the Defense Department’s goal of keeping service pay ahead of 70 percent of civilians of similar age and educational background. CBO says officer compensation exceeds 86 percent of private sector peers.

The case against capping raises is that recruiting and retention goals could be compromised, CBO says, and smaller raises also dampen other elements of military compensation including retirement annuities….more here
