Lots of Extra Payers in the Bamster's Tax Hikes
See, folks, he's not just about punishing the successful. He'll be glad to sock it to air travelers, new home buyers, Medicare recipients and military retirees as well.
This a particularly gratuitous slap at those who have given a large chunk of their lives in defense of the country:
Military retirees would pay a $200 fee upon turning 65 to have the government pay their out-of-pocket Medicare expenses. They'd also pay more for non-generic prescription drugs.Let's be perfectly clear on that. Military retirees paid into Medicare. When we turned 65 we pay exactly what every other citizen pays for our Medicare Part A and B.
What that $200 per month proposal is saying is that we would lose our current Tricare-For-Life benefit which was given in acknowledgment of Medal-of-Honor recipient Bud Day's legal battle to preserve our promised healthcare. The intention is to cancel TFL and sock us with a Medicare supplement insurance cost which would apparently be mandatory.
But applying the often repeated principle of "Reverse Speak" when interpreting the President we should review his statement that "raising taxes is the last thing you would want to do in a recession." Apparently we have now come to the last thing he intends to do...which may be a blessing if true.
Please, Lord, let this be the last thing.

I have noticed that Zero and Congress have not set forth proposals for revising retirement and other benefits for themselves in order to lead by example. It's Obamacare for everyone else, except Obama, Biden, Congress, and those who receive waivers under a standard that no one can discern.
Freeze the pensions of all the non gun toting troughfeeders, put everyone from the White House, Capitol Building on down on a 401(k), and make federal employees pay more of their insurance and that of dependents. Cut the number of troughfeeders and agencies. Evaluate contracting with private healthcare providers and shift away from the VA to cut the expense of owning structures, paying salaries, and benefit obligations. But still take care of the troops. Considering the mess of the VA and that it is a big social engineering platform (with about 42% minorities) rather than a straightforward entity to provide care for vets, and that a lot of vets hate their local VA hospital, I'd wager that private hospitals could do it better and for less.
