Democratic Senator Carl Levin says he supports restoring veteran pensions by closing a tax loophole used by illegal aliens

 As we all know, the budget compromise reached by Paul Ryan and Patty Murray, which was eventually signed into law by Barack Obama, included a cut to military pensions.

  Today Democratic Senator Carl Levin said he would support restoring the veteran cuts by cutting a tax loophole which is used by illegal aliens:

“I’ll vote for it when it’s offered,” Levin said on Tuesday, according to The Hill. “I would vote for it unless it in some ways messes up a bill that I favor.”

  My Senator, Kelly Ayotte, (whom I still despise) is sponsoring a bill which would restore the military pensions by closing a tax loophole used by illegal aliens, and that is what Carl Levin is referring to here.

    If Carl Levin were a Republican the left would claim this position makes him a racist, but we will let that go for the sake of this post. He claims that he will vote for it “when it is offered” but of course he is conveniently forgetting why this was not offered in the first place: When the budget bill was first brought to the Senate floor Jeff Sessions and the Republicans led an effort to offer an amendment to the budget which would do just that but it was blocked by the Democrats. So take this for what it is worth, it never should have gotten to this point.

  Paul Ryan, who is still defending the cut by claiming we have to reign in these out of control military pensions, could not be reached for comment…..
