There you have it, an article, that reveals that Republican efforts to stop a bill that cuts benefits to military families/men/women including disabled and retired military failed. The Democrats WON the day and were successful at thwarting the Republican attempts to accomplish two things.
Republicans wanted to CLOSE a Loophole that allowed illegals to get benefits
AND
STOP cuts to military families, men, women, etc that the bill would do including retirees and disabled.
Democrats WON though meaning that the Illegals get their support and get funds whereas the Military loses funds and pay. The Illegals are getting benefits at the expense of our service men/women. So it's a good day to be a Democrat for your side won and got what they wanted. It's also a good day to be an illegal. That means it's a bad day for Republicans and Military folks for you lost but then I suppose that the Democrats look at our military as being more conservative and republican leaning in their voting so guess they figure it serves them right.
As for me, I with the Republicans had won this round! I wish that the military men/women as well as the retired and disabled were to get a pay raise rather than a cut. IF I had anything to do with it any service member that qualified for and served in a special branch such as the Rangers or SEALS would also have an extra bonus and benefit added to their pay for the extra they had to endure and the extra they do and did to maintain the freedoms we have.
