Is GOP cutting military benefits so that they can raise them for '04?

[Bombtrack]

Just wondering if this might be a political tactic for them. Like raising retail prices before a sale

1. The answer to that would be no

The GOP knows full well that the economy has gone to shit and that they have a whole bunch of people who have NO CHOICE but to join for the paycheck. They are called the Cheap Labor Party for a reason.

2. I'm in the National Guard and I definitely resent them trying to create a

bad situation just so that they can make themselves look like heroes. I'm getting out in March 2004.

I thought that they had already spent the money on the tax cuts and government contracts to their buddies but I could be wrong.

6. That's what I thought

Maybe they can fool the press by paying the soldiers with monopoly money,but you can't squeeze blood from a stone and you can't pay with money that isn't there.
