Title: Budget crunchers set their sights on military retirees’ health costs

That's the Vindicators Headline to my letter to the editor. I was surprised that they actually printed it.

Dennis, think about it. public employees are not,  I say again,  NOT on a fixed income.  They didn't have their healthcare payments triple already when they went onto that fixed income only to see another 60% added on years later. Are you even implying that military retirees shouldn't receive what they were promised?

Sarge, No......

but the attack on your benefits will potentially happen to public employees if Kasich and the neo-cons get their ways......

if it's not fair to happen to you, it shouldn't happen to public employees in the future.....
