[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 475879, member: 2189"] Hey Baba, The news for Obama's "military cutting" just got a bit worse as according to experts, the Iraq/Afghanistan cost through 2019' will approach $900 billion. [URL="http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=60486"][COLOR=red]http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=60486[/COLOR][/URL] This cost is on top of the budgeted monies for defense I'm sure as so far these theaters are paid for with emergency and special appropiations of congress. Some have expressed concerns of wages cuts in the future for UPS union covered employees in light of the recent announcement about other UPSers and their wage cuts if the economic problems continue and or worsen. I do think those concerns in light of the de-flationary effects we see now should be considered. However, based on the above article along with the many other aspects of the so-called "Stimulus package" my guess the biggest threat to your cut in pay will in fact come from the empire you support as it moves to support itself in the form of higher taxes for all. Welfare and Warfare are the health of the State! [/QUOTE]
