Congress ready to screw veterans
ROS sends us a link from the Army Times which quotes a bi-partisan letter from the House and Senate Veterans’ affairs committees that says veterans are the most vulnerable to massive government cuts…and we’re already bent over a greased up;
“We believe no constituency better understands the challenge America faces, and no constituency is better suited to, again, lead by example by putting country first,” says a rare joint letter signed by the four top Democratic and Republican members of the veterans’ committees.
Yeah, and no other cstituency has tken it so far up the ass every fucking time the government comes looking for spending cuts EVERY FUCKING TIME! And do you know why we’re supposed to just take it up the ass again? So the Congress desn’t have to do the tough work of actually cutting across the board spending in federal government.
The top leaders of the House and Senate veterans’ affairs committees are willing to cut funding for the Veterans Affairs Department in hopes of averting across-the-board cuts in federal spending.
So veterans should take it in the ass so Congress doesn’t have to cut their staffs, cut their own benefit packages, cut the largesse of government offices and buy some more $16 muffins for the Justice Department so they can coordinate their purchases of firearms for the drug cartels.

“lead by example by putting country first,” ??? WTF, I thought we already had! In my case for 20 years. Others have paid a much higher personal price for “Putting country first”. BOHICA?
You want to see a lot of pissed off people the government doesn’t want to fuck with? How about the 2011 version of the Bonus Army…only this one has a lot more at stake.
“Congress Ready to Screw Veterans” might as well be a permanent tag.
The only difference between an Establishmentarian Republican and the Progressives is the alma mater.
Yep, BOHICA! Just because we saluted said EYE EYE or Yessir, they think we’re little more than trained monkeys and will automatically bend over and take it without question or complaint. To paraphrase Churchill; “Never has so many taken so much from so few.”
[…] Congress ready to screw veterans The one group who should never have to face cuts is our Veterans. Yet as is the case most of the time they are the first to have their heads put on the chopping block… […]
