Senate Democrats Vote To Cut Pensions For Veterans Instead of Welfare For Illegals

Book, I told you yesterday, there is no need for you to ever address me again.
Was I not clear about that?
No I don't know of any mistake you may have made, nor do I care.
You're on your own, forget you even see me around!

eta, now that I see you edited your post, thank you!
Have a nice life

I have contacted my senators. This is a bunch of crap and I can think of a couple dozen programs or projects that they can cut funding to and save a heck of a lot more money than what they are doing to us vets. What the government needs is a few dozen proficiency experts and go through the different branches of the government and figure out what and who needs to be cut.

Guess you didnt read the NDAA yet.

Sen John McCain said that he "trusted" the Dem liberals voting FOR this bill in that they told him, promised him, they would review it in another year to two to change it back for the veterans and what is passed in this bill wouldn't go into effect for one year anyway. THAT'S DISGUSTING!! I think McCain has lost his mind! Never have liked him that much anyway but this is beyond belief to me! It doesn't surprise me with this Administration though!

Taking from those that have served this country is horrible.... and is on scale of spending taxpayer money to "save General Motors"... They had no business doing that either... GM and the UAW put themselves in that hole.... Brad

Agreed - GM and the UAW put themselves into that hole. And we're all much better off that they got out of it.

Good luck to all,

You're having to apologise nearly every day now for posting before checking things out and then having to retract your comments. While I do commend you for admitting your mistakes maybe a change in habits is called for ? I suspect it's because you honestly believe that nearly all of us are full of crap so you assume that whatever we post must surely be wrong. Pretty arrogant on your part don't ya think ? That dosn't seem to be working out real well for ya. Hope this helps

"They" didn't get themselves OUT..... taxpayer dollars bailed them out. And they got the money because the UAW poured money into the election (again). The U.S. Govt. just sold the last of their holding stocks. Taxpayers were out 10 billion at the end of "deal". Whatever happened to free enterprise. Why did MY MONEY HAVE TO GO TO HELP GM"S / UAW'S POUR BUSINESS DECISIONS? And why should government get their nose into private businesses affairs and decide who "gets help" and who doesn't! "And we're all much better off that they got out of it." Who's... we're all?

But to do this for GM /UAW folks and then cut the pensions for veterans is embarrassing to me as a U.S. citizen.

Limitool:

Taxpayers lost on GM, gained in other areas (AIG) and, when the shooting stops and the smoke clears, came out neutral to ahead on the various TARP programs.

Money well spent.

Good luck to all,

What is Federal Government doing poking their noses into ANY private enterprise... EVER!!! The Federal Govt.'s job is to collect taxes from the states and protect the United States within. The Govt.'s roll has gotten way to big.... we don't need Gov't giving money to it's citizens.... meaning taking from some and giving to others. Free enterprise should rule... period. The rich get richer... period. Anybody, and I mean anybody can succeed if they want to and/or are smart enough to. I do not and will NEVER begrudge those who succeed and/or support those who don't for unlimited extended periods of time. Ever hear of Darwin? And as harsh as it may sound that goes for every man, women and their children. Our entire life is based on choices. Socialism, Liberal and non-conservative attitudes promote this ongoing trend. States and the local Govt. take care of it's citizens.... NOT THE FEDERAL GOVT. That's why we have boundaries and different rules when crossing them.... IT's why we left ENGLAND!

we don't have a federal gov't., we have a ferel government.

All the talk now is, they didn't mean to have that in the budget and it will be cleared up before it takes effect. They should do the same with the Affordable Care Act. Afforadable for who?

 

[Limitool]

Yes, which would also apply to the fact they would rather cut benefits to Veterans rather than CUT CORPORATE WELFARE! And how many REPUBLICANS voted for this?

"And how many REPUBLICANS voted for this?"... Who the hell cares.... its ALL wrong PERIOD!!!!! Whoever voted for this is WRONG. What is this fixation you got on big business and REPUBLICANS? Dems, Rep's, liberals, progressives, etc..... who cares? Whoever voted for this bill is wrong and they all should be held accountable. "CUT CORPORATE WELFARE!" Will never happen... they control the money and hence the power.

Let's see how long that takes! hint: Don't hold your breath.

Anger should turn to resolve. It won't happen here either. I find good folks at our vfw, al, moose, bpoe, and the like. Talk to those you need to, organize, prepare, and be ready!
