No... he's not pee, and no amount of your diatribe is going to change that. He can spend money faster than any President in the history of America on BULL SHIT, but when it comes to veterans, something IMPORTANT, he has to cook up some scheme. THAT is the point. THAT is what you refuse to admit. I can only guess you're playing ignorant because you're a liberal that dislikes the military as much as obama does, and you've never served. So it's just as easy for you to say "fuck veterans" as it is for obama.Peejay thinks if we don't want and take all we can get, we're "fucking idiots". I'd be ashamed to show up at a VA clinic or hospital and make it even more challenging for those guys who clearly deserve the help. I can afford my own insurance now which counting Medicare-Supplement-Part D is well over $300 per month, about 30% of my SS check. But after Obama & Crew are finished with the dollar, I may sing another tune. None of this Democrat planning is designed to make everything all better, but to make it fair by spreading the pain, and that's what we're heading for sooner than later.
As an aside, if we do care, we have to make sure that all of them in DC get the message, and as of right now the only way to do that (besides sending letters) is to protest in the streets so that the MSM can no longer deliberately misinterpret our intent, and distort it in their reporting. Our window of opportunity is closing (April 15th) and won't open again until the mid-term elections a year later. As we've already seen they can do a lot of damage in a year.
As a retiree, I have Tricare. You know, that "free medical for life" I have to pay for. I DO use it whenever possible; however, only active duty military get to see psychiatrists. Best I rate on base is the psychologist. I have to go through the VA for the psychiatrist.
The VA IS overburdened, and that throwing extra money at the VA is a snow-job. It won't come close to covering veteran healthcare if it's opened to ALL vets. Just more misspent money, IMO.
I had a decent conversation with peejay once without any name-calling. Apparently, insults and misdirection are his preferred method judging by the last two. Don't know what's up with that.
The name calling was the wrong thing to do. My apologies for that.
I don't care much for President Obama or many of his new policies. However, this situation with the VA seems to show that some people just will not be pleased. You say that the VA is overburdened and I agree. However, you go on to say that more funding isn't the answer. What do you suggest ? Maybe a well placed program to recruit more volunteers ? The man was trying his best to help vets and the best we can come up with is that he loathes the military or has the wrong mind set ? What mind set would you prefer ? Maybe he should cut the VA funding ? Instead of raising it ?
This is ridiculous. Partisan crap.
