Won't happen like it's leading you to believe. And before everyone gets up in arms, you need to understand that the money they're talking about comes from a pot. The pot will be cut - not anyone's current salary or pension. Dems have been talking about cutting that pot for decades and many benefits have already disappeared under Obama.

no. How is that embezzlement? You make a budget and say you didn't spend it all on food and want to move it to pay a credit card. Same difference.pinkbutterfly66 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 1:25 pm Wouldn't that be embezzlement? Can we impeach the son of a bitch NOW?!?
The same way it was embezzlement when private companies looted the pension funds of their employees. That's how. That money is earmarked specifically for pensions and should not be touched.jas wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 1:30 pmno. How is that embezzlement?

Probably. He doesn't give a shit about service members.
I guess "And the Military is going to pay for it!" probably wouldn't have gone over as well with his supporters, but at this point... Anything to own the libs, I guess

Government funds don't work the same way as private companies. Look at the social security pot for one example. Congress has "borrowed" from that pot for decades.pinkbutterfly66 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 1:34 pmThe same way it was embezzlement when private companies looted the pension funds of their employees.
