There have been more hearings and talk on what happened at our consulate in Bengazi… and guns…and immigration and now the SEQUESTER. But things are settling into normal functioning. Now what everyone is doing in the northeast is bracing for a blizzard. For all of you in the storm’s bath stay warm and safe.
1) More Legislation Introduced - All “Concurrent Receipt” Bills Now Introduced in 113th Session of Congress
2) And Even More New Military/Veteran Legislation
3) Federal Government Announces End of Push to Create a Lifetime Electronic Military Health Record
4) Vietnam Vets: Be Sure To Check the Agent Orange Blue/Brown Navy Ship List
5) Small (But Interesting) Bits of Information

The current CPI does not keep adequate pace with inflation and puts all recipients behind the power curve, as anyone who receives benefits can attest, against actual inflation. Our affiliate, TSCL, has taken and will continue to take a stand regarding CPI computations and most significantly this current methodology. TREA cosigned a letter (with several other organizations) that was sent to Congress opposing the proposal to substitute a chained CPI calculation. This could have significant potential reductions in benefits especially over the long term.
