If you are a single mother, raising three children … maybe fathered by three different baby daddies … and you only work one day a week earning minimum wage, you have more disposable income than a married couple raising two children earning $60,000 a year. You can thank the government and our entitlement culture for that injustice. And the number of moochers continues to grow. We are now at the point where half of Americans do not pay any federal income taxes into the system, while the welfare checks continue to grow. In fact, by 2050, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are predicted to consume 100% of the revenues collected by our federal government. When will these people be asked to sacrifice?
Meanwhile, those who are serving or have served our country and earned benefits such as healthcare are being told by the Obama administration that they must be the ones to sacrifice. That is, of course, unless you are a unionized civilian defense worker. Your benefits will remain untouched. But those of you who have served or who are serving on the front lines, here’s a taste of what you can expect thanks to Obama’s proposed budget cuts:
The plan calls for increases between 30 percent to 78 percent in Tricare annual premiums for the first year. After that, the plan will impose five-year increases ranging from 94 percent to 345 percent—more than 3 times current levels.
According to congressional assessments, a retired Army colonel with a family currently paying $460 a year for health care will pay $2,048.
Besides Obama’s false attempts at fiscal austerity, you can also thank ObamaCare! Administration officials told Congress that one reason for the increases is to force military retirees to reduce their involvement in Tricare and eventually opt out of the program in favor of alternatives established by ObamaCare.
