Why does the military have to have increases in their insurance premiums and cuts to their pay but there aren’t cuts to welfare, illegal immigrants and losers sucking on the system? Granted there are some legitimate claims for those on social entitlement programs but this leaves you wondering why this attack on our military?
Well once again this is just another demonstration of the hate this administration has toward the US military. The emperor and the imperial family spend money on countless vacations and parties. This regime has run up over $6 trillion on the national debt in just over 5 years, making countless cuts to defense and cutting benefits to the military, while giving away the “farm” to the permanent dependent entitlement voting class.
Instead of stealing $700 billion from the taxpayers to market Obamacare and taking $100 million vacations I’m sure the funds would be made available so that our military wouldn’t be punished by this tyrannical regime!

Tricare, according to its website, “is the health care program serving Uniformed Service members, retirees and their families worldwide.” As the administration pushes for higher health care costs for military personnel, the benefits of unionized civilian defense workers remain unscathed…
…The current deductible is $150 for individuals and $300 for families. In 2014, deductibles would jump to $160 for individuals and $320 for families, then would rise another $40 for individuals and $80 for families in 2015…more
