Reward

Our Congressmen, Democrats and Republicans alike, have voted to reward our guard and reserve soldiers that are serving overseas. What is this reward you may ask for their service to our country. <a href="http://rockymountainnews.com/drmn/state/article/0,1299,DRMN_21_2827703,00.html">They can now withdraw funds</a> from their personal IRAs and pension plans and they won't have to pay the 10% penalty for early withdrawl. Now, let me see if I got this straight. These people leave jobs that, for the most part, pay more than they earn while on active service and now since they can't make ends meet on the salary their making the Government is going to allow them to withdraw their retirement savings at no penalty to pay their bills. Wow, what a deal!! I'm glad I don't get <strike>screwed over</strike> rewarded like that.<br />n<br />n<b>Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under. H. L. Mencken</b>
