Cotton Statement on House Vote to Restore Cuts to Military Pensions

Statement

By: Tom Cotton

Date: Feb. 11, 2014

Issues: Senior Citizens Military Personnel Entitlements and the Safety Net Veterans

Congressman Tom Cotton (R-Dardanelle) released the following statement after the House voted to restore cuts to military pensions made in the December budget legislation:

"The House has rightly reversed the recent, unjust cuts to veterans' pensions in a fiscally responsible manner. Our troops have sacrificed repeatedly to defend our country and, of all groups, they should have never been singled out for retroactive pension cuts. Senate Democrats should stop using veterans as a political pawn and pass this legislation immediately."
