Thank You Titus, Reid And Amodei For Screwing Veterans

From Fox News:
A final effort by Senate Republicans to halt cuts to pensions of military retirees failed late Tuesday, after Democrats blocked an amendment to the controversial budget bill.

The two-year budget agreement, which cleared a key test vote earlier in the day, was expected to get a final vote no later than Wednesday.

Ahead of the final vote, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., tried unsuccessfully to use a parliamentary tactic to force a vote on the amendment, which he wrote to undo the cuts for military retirees.
A provision in the already House-passed bill would cut retirement benefits for military retirees by $6 billion over 10 years.
Sessions wanted to instead eliminate an estimated $4.2 billion in annual spending by reining in an IRS credit that illegal immigrants have claimed.
He and fellow senators argued the bill unfairly sticks veterans and other military retirees with the cost of new spending.
“It’s not correct, and it should not happen,” Sessions said on the floor.
"By blocking my amendment, they voted to cut pensions for wounded warriors," he said afterwards. "Senators in this chamber have many valid ideas for replacing these pension cuts, including my proposal to close the tax welfare loophole for illegal filers, and all deserved a fair and open hearing. But they were denied.”
Sessions’ office claimed the vote Tuesday to block the amendment was a vote to "cut military pensions instead of cutting welfare for illegal immigrants."  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/12/17/senate-gop-fails-in-final-bid-to-restore-military-pension-cuts-to-budget-bill/
I'm not surprised by Senile/Coward/Liar Harry Reid's vote- he doesn't like the military or those who serve in it.
Rep Mark Amodei, a Northern Nevada Rep. and a GOP member, I was kind of surprised but he is a little wimp, so I am not totally baffled by his vote.
Rep. Dina Titus, Democrat and felony thief, I am very surprised by her vote.  She has gone out her way to say she supports veterans... obviously she doesn't crap about them.  She would rather poop on them than support them, it seems.
So, next time you see Felony Thief Dina Titus on TV trying to help veterans, don't believe her, she is just trying to score political points and really doesn't care about veterans.
