There will always be those who will rationalize and obfuscate for this disgraceful immoral Administration they may even be here working for them as is also a matter of record..

Another thing that n2sooners always overlooks is the fact that veterans spending is going up under the Bush administration as a result of the baby boomer retirement effect. There would have been a need to increase spending regardless who the current president is. The more important matter is whether Bush provides enough spending and according the Head of the VA Bush underfunded the VA by some 1 to 2 Billion dollars. But I guess when you got to pay off millionaires for their campaign donations with tax cuts, what the hell.

Even Bush's own Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony Principi -- in a rare break with administration protocol -- told a House committee Feb. 4 that had asked for more money than Bush was willing to seek from Congress. "I asked OMB for $1.2 billion more than I received," he said, referring to the White House Office of Management and Budget.

veterans who can't afford or obtain private coverage will go without
needed care, said Steffie Woolhandler, MD, MPH, a Harvard Medical
School professor and co-founder of Physicians for a National Health
Program, a single-payer advocacy group. An October study she
co-authored concluded that 1.8 million veterans from all conflicts were
uninsured in 2004, up nearly 300,000 since 2000. Nearly half of them
had not seen a physician in more than a year.

Dr. Scavron, the former Navy physician, said the uninsured veterans
he sees in his clinic are evidence that the government is not
fulfilling its responsibilities

And this is without the military acknowledging about 20,000 brain injuries that have gone undiagnosed since this fiasco in Iraq started. Let's be sure to buy into everything the military tells us!

Our Troops are killing themselves I don't care if it's 120 per week or 12 you get that, do you, do you get that now..?

Yes they are, but so are our civilians, and the rates are about the same for civilians and veterans. So trying to blame it on military service is just so much BS.

And as a disabled veteran, I am getting sick and tired of liberal Bush haters trying to claim how bad this administration has screwed me over and trying to use me to bash Bush when just a few short years ago they didn't give a rats ass about me even though my benefits were going up at a fraction of the rate they are now because their boy was in office.

And if you really want to go off on someone cutting veteran benefits, look no further than the democrats in office right now who are trying to cut benefits to disabled veterans in the 60-90% range and give it to non-American veterans and their survivors from WWII. Here you are trying to pretend to only care about veterans, but I notice that my clip talking about real cuts to disabled veteran benefits isn't getting many pops here because it can't be blamed on Bush (52 views and only two pops so far).

It's hopeless there are just so many of these Fox News Clones out there our nation is doomed, doomed history down the drain..

He cares more about Bush than he does even himself let alone his fellow Troops..that's the Bush Dementia Syndrome..

Why wouldn't benefits go up that's cost of living increases and when we're t war one would expect spending to go up for veterans benefits because we are creating a lot more wounded and disabled Veterans and also 20 thousand with serious brain injuries and then even more with PTSD..!

Why are these guys killing themselves how are we failing them what benefits and services are they in need of that they are not getting...

I'll bash Bush all I fucking feel like it he's an Ass-hole and liar and traitor to American sovereignty and our Constitution and incompetent failure who let bin-Laden escape at Tora Bora and let al-Qaeda attack us when he had been warned..!

That's being an American Free Speech so why are so many up to 120 Vets per week from Iraq and Afghanistan killing themselves..why..?

How are we failing them and their needs..?


Your not thinking of killing yourself are you N2sooners..that would be a tragedy, I'm sure there's still some reason for you to live there must be you just have to look and try harder to find it..!


LOL...!

I don't know how they do math in Oklahoma but here's what numbers mean to me.

The Democrats added $3.7 billion dollars of funding above Bush's version of the Veterans Funding Bill. Not sure how you get that Democrats are cutting funding.

H.R. 760 is cosponsored by 12 Republicans and according to a Congressional Budget Office report would costs less than $1 dollar per American over the period 2008-2012 to honor World War II Filipino soldiers who fought and died side by side with Americans to preserve Liberty and Freedom in a real war.

Meanwhile n2sooners doesn't give a rat's ass that American taxpayers will for generations be paying off the $2 trillion we wasted on a pack of lies on Bush's...

If that's Oklahoma Values keep me far away from that f*'d up state. The U.S. promised those Filipinos full benefits and we have never lived up to that promise. Link

Filipino veterans are those who answered the call of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and served alongside our armed forces during World War II. They fought shoulder to shoulder with American servicemen, and we promised to provide full veterans’ benefits to them. While we have made some progress toward that goal, we have not yet achieved the full equity that the Filipino veterans deserve.

I am proud to be an original cosponsor of H.R. 760, the Filipino Veterans Equity Act, which, in essence, makes good on the promise our government mad to these brave men over sixty years ago.

Our Filipino veterans are in the twilight of their lives; of the 250,000 soldiers who fought with us, only 18,000 survive today, and of that number 2,000 reside in my home state of Hawaii.

As we honor our veterans all across the country this Veterans Day, let us include those Filipino veterans who still await a promise fulfilled. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 760.

a Congressional Budget Office report would costs less than $1 dollar per American over the period 2008-2012 to honor World War II Filipino soldiers who fought and died side by side with Americans to preserve Liberty and Freedom in a real war.

The problem is it isn't being paid by every American. Due to the pay as you go rules the democrats set up, they either have to raise taxes or make cuts elsewhere for the new benefits they proposed. Well, the people who will be funding these new benefits are disabled veterans in the 60-90% range who could lose in excess of $2,000 a month. If they really cared about veterans, why not pay for it out of their own pockets by an across the boa...

There is little doubt that too many Iraqi War Veterans are killing themselves I have posted other stories in this regard and for those who care about our Troops our fellow Americans this should be a wake up call and source of concern that these young men are taking their lives in large number..

It is all to typical for these Bush sycophants to change the topic and muddy the waters so as to defer peoples attention from how our government and this ill-Administration is failing The Troops..

These are human beings and some of the statics and others who have served in Iraq as well are pointing out that this is an epidemic our media is ignoring while they have hours of air time for Lin...

These are human beings and some of the statics and others who have served in Iraq as well are pointing out that this is an epidemic our media is ignoring while they have hours of air time for Lindsey Lohan and OJ Simpson or whatever jerk celebrity not to exclude these losers running for President especially Hillary Clinton who has not said one word in defense of our ill-served servicemen among so many other politicians who are not outraged at this epidemic of suicide..among our Iraq and Afghan War Vets...
