What a vile waste of U.S. taxpayer money...

[MaggieMae]

Is this a waste of taxpayer's $$:
Retiring military officers with no combat injuries drawing an extra % of pay for life for a disability. They sprained an ankle or had a sore shoulder and received a rating at retirement or before retirement to boost their retirement pay.
And then work a full time job with no problem after retirement with their disability increase in pay.
This is wide spread now. My neighbor did it, brags about it and works a full time job with the US Forestry Department now.
I like the guy but there is nothing wrong with him at all and he receives an extra 10K or more a year for this.

Yeah, look at McCain, a perfect example of a 100% disabled veteran drawing disability, drawing POW pay from 50 years ago, a military pension & Social Security, a congressional salary, medical benefits and lifetime pension, all the while hiking a mile down and out of the Grand Canyon, flying across America to serve in Congress, and running for office and traveling all over the nation in a bus and car. How do these 100% disabled military people manage??


He is one of the reasons I question a disabled parking spot in front of Extreme Sports Equipment store.

And he had a choice of seven cars, all luxury models.

I heard about this new company that's going to go big next year selling a brand new food that everyone will love.

It's called

Soylent Green.

Wow, could you find an even better exaggeration? Yours beats the 'Death panels' by miles and miles. Maybe you should also talk about the secret concentration camps set up by the US government.

I take it your are unfamiliar with humor of sarcasm.

Did you truly believe that I thought the government was going to start turning people into food?

Not sure, but nowadays, with Glenn Beck saying day in and day out that the government is out to get you, nothing surprises me anymore.

Sorry.

Only an idiot would let gov. use the airwaves for propaganda like this.

Ahh, Mr. Clown, does that mean cons are now idiots? Because Bush signed the Executive Order for this BS.

Mr. shitnao,
Why would I answer for a "cons", since I am not one. Whatever a con is? You expect me, a non-con, to answer for "cons". Do communists always ask stupid questions, it seems like you do.
I will tell you this: Bush was/is a progressive/liberal. I didn't vote for him and I disagreed with much of what he did. Obowmao on the other-hand is your socialist G-d, enjoy.

You're right. With an analysis like that, it only proves your vet needs to up your meds.

How hard up do you have to be to stoop to using Andy Griffith to lie to seniors?

Can you imagine how insutling this is to the seniors that actually know what's going on?

They are lying to our mothers and grandmothers, to fool them into thinking everything is hunky-dory.

oh well

Jeezus, do you and Capitalist share the same padded cell?

I'll bet if someone like Glenn Beck made that suggestion, there would be a goodly number of dedicated folk who would believe it.

I wish I'd read just one post further and I would not have repeated that! Aha! Great minds think alike, 'tis true!!

I think today I saw the recent Daily Show clip with Glenn Beck spewing conspiracy theories about government inspection of food.

And then the comment about Soylent Green.

I think we should make a bet about the number of days before Glenn actually mentions Soylent Green on TV.
