The long awaited moves to do something about the deficit are hear with proposed cuts to some "low hanging fruit" like heating allowance and Public Broadcasting. The States are looking at their pension and benefits packages and in case of WI looking into eliminating collective bargaining for state employees. Obviously there's lots to be saved in Medicare and social security, but will we ever consider reducing the pensions and benefits of veterans. They get early retirement option, great pensions and awsome health care. Will their benefits packages ever be questions like other "government employees"?
