Pat,

How is it any different than someone who went to work for the auto industry or the city of Detroit 30 years ago and was promised specific retirement benefits? How about the retired pilots who saw their pensions drop from $150,000 to $40,000 a year? Personally I believe that promises should be honored but if some can be ignored than all can be.
I agree in principle Ken and it sounds like you are in my corner on this one. A promise is a promise. Maybe we need those lock boxes that are often discussed. Apparently it is fine to raid pension plans and blow money that should be budgeted for future benefit costs. Now that the anticipated retirement payout is a reality, our government and many private employers start the shuffle, the dance moves, and jive. Screw them, pay up, I don't care if they have to sell off public parks and aircraft carriers, pay up.
I ask again, pat, where, when, and by whom was that "promise" made?
Under the terms of enlistment and as established by practice.
Can you quote me, with a credible link, the "promise" made in "the terms of enlistment?" As for "established practice," that sounds exactly like the PERA example I gave you.
Yes Colo, I could spend hours researching hiring practices and quotes about promises made to enlisted people. But I won't. Let me know what you find, I'll stick with reason and logic.

When Reagan was Prez, our immigration problems were not even close to what they are now but I do understand some want to bash Reagan and divert from our present problems. Also way off topic.

Neutral,

You have stated your opinion now back it up with facts. The illegal immigrant problem was a problem in the 1980's. Also when were you appointed topic monitor?

This is what Neut actually meant: " I do not do research."

You should have. It might have provided a little intelligence for you.
