Sure, we should help out wounded vets. But nobody should get on-demand access to my money by declaring themselves to be "traumatized." That's nuts.
Obama, his administration, Reid & Pelosi represent the snail $hit that government has become.
it’s hard to fault helping our vets, but you’re right - the excess spending has no limits in Obama’s new world - he can’t spend us into bankruptcy fast enough
Politically speaking, he's likely saying this because news was getting out the other day that the tax hike on medical devices was impacting veterans. Thus, he needs to go in and try to put a bandaid on that problem with this new proposal.
I'm an 11 series sandbox vet and I agree with you 100%.
I've yet to take Uncle Sam up on all of the lucrative bennies I could get just by raising my hand. If you have a CIB (which I do) it's essentially a "ticket to ride." Backpay, disability, possible Social Security - the works if you do it right.
So far I've resisted the temptation, but I see a lot vets soaking the system. It's just wrong.
forgive me for being skeptical but I think this is a pr sound bite.
the Vet still has to get the ok from a gov’t pysch doc and I am guessing the ok’s will be as hard to gt as they ever were
BUT it sure makes 0dumbo look good on the surface
Why would Veterans need help? They’re already in a government-run health plan.
What he’ll eventually do is tax the benefit amount they’d receive right along with whatever medical devices they’ll need.
Is this a ploy to give benefits to vets with “mental distress” only to inform them they may never own a gun?
