3% whoa.. that ought to hold them over for about 6 months of increased costs.
Wonder if it even extends to reservists? Usually not. Been seeing stories on news programs about reservists families left behind without incomes or healthcare while spouse is away overseas.
In NY, Hillary is trying to get them rolled into the military system so at least they can go see doctors if they need to while their spouse is in Iraq.
They should use some of the 87 billion earmarked for Iraq. They've only spent about 400 million of it so far.
