Privitizing military bennies

[The T]

Ask Obama he wants to pump 500 billion more in. As I recall you supported that plan.

you mean the $500BN taken out of Medicare to facilitate Ocare?

No, the so called Jobs Bill he and people like UScitizen claim will help the Economy. I mean he obviously doesn't believe it would help in this case, why would he think it would work in any other? Or is he, as usual , playing partisan games.

I see...the so-called Jobs Bill [which is nothing but larger taxes] that they don't plan on passing anyway...but plan to use as a club over the heads of Republicans next year...

why aren't all of you "capitalist competition is the solution to everything" people leaping at a chance to prove to the military why our culture of entitlement is so bad?

All of a sudden, when the issue is our sacred cow soldiers who've had to deal with bullshit military conflicts over fabricated nonsense, THEN all we hear about is a graduated excuse for preserving government health coverage. As if, you know, you secretly don't want to admit that capitalism isn't the panacea for everything economic, after all.

Apples and Oranges. The Government has a RESPONSIBILITY LEGALLY and CONSTITUTIONALLY to provide health care to military retirees and certain veterans. It has o such authority for everyone else.

And, they could PROVIDE it just as well for you as your kind insist that the rest of us abide by. Again it's fucking hilarious when you people scream about competition and capitalism while trying like a motherfucker to preserve your OWN piece of the entitlement pie.

The Veterans Administration came about as a result of Lincoln's second inaugural address.

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

Abraham Lincoln: Second Inaugural Address. U.S. Inaugural Addresses. 1989

It pretty much predates anyone's piece of the metaphorical 'pie.'

But nevermind thier service, blood, sweat, and tears and thier LIVES on the line...unlike certain segments of ingrates such as YOURSELF that MOCK protecting your dumbasses...as contrasted to those that don't give a thing but to squirt babies into the system and get PAID for it.

Real nice post there skippy. NOT.

To start with there, fuckstick, military benefits are not entitlements but are fulfilled promises from a grateful nation.

Next, with few exceptions, most of you on this thread know squat about what you are writing about. What you need to do besides continue to embarrass yourself is to figure out how to pay for the benefits that eligible veterans and military retirees deserve.

Dead on.

If you would like to know what veterans' benefits currently are you can read Title 38 of the US Code:

Mitten seems to think it's a good idea.

What say you?

Like Medical benefits?
Already see a civilian doc.
You mean privatize things like grocery shopping, i.e. no more commissary?
Fine by me. That place is a fucking zoo.

Already had this discussion with your ignorant ass. The Federal Government has thorough the Constitution, Enumerated powers to organize maintain and pay for the military. This includes ANY and all recruitment incentives, retirement packages and medical coverage. They further have enumerated powers to do the same if they wish for Federal employees.

They do NOT have ANY enumerated powers to provide retirement or medical coverage to none Government employees.

No matter how many times you claim it, they have no legal or constitutional responsibility to provide military benefits. They may elect to do so but they are not required to do so.

He didn't say responsibility, he said WISH.
