Simply nonsense. The CAVC has maybe a few thousand cases. The backlog is around 1 million. That's less than 1% of cases.
Show us all the data that shows the president handed out bonuses to anyone. Much of the bailout was in the form of tax cuts to everyone.
We have a huge backlog because there was no planning for the aftemath of war.
The major reasons for our current deficit is the drug plan, 2 wars, and the Bush era taxcuts, all done by a republican President, Congress and Supreme Court.
How many of you out there were willing to take the chance of the collapse of our country by not having the bailout? Where would you be getting your benefits from?

You have nothing NetFodder. When people resort to insults and the like they have nothing and are phonies.
Jim doesn't hide his identity or email. He takes on all comers. How about you?

I have an alternative explanation to the article about the Feres Doctrine. Look at the timeline and see for yourself. This is my opinion.
In 1946 was the first of a long line of experiments on our military personnel, Operation Crossroads. These experiments blossumed from there. Read SR 103-97, Interim, Ancillary, and Final Reports 1 and 2. Then look at Operation SHAD/Project112, Edgewood Arsenal, Nuclear Weapons Testing and our needle stick/gun vaccine program and many other experiments of all kinds. We were guinea pigs pure and simple.
We've been using chemical weapons on our military personnel and our supposed enemies. Radiation, Agent Orange, Depleted Uranium and many of the most horrific chemicals known to man. This started in 1946, at least at this level. I believe it is still going on.
What is the pricetag for murdering our military personnel with these experiments and weapons that are forbidden under the Geneva Convention?

It's not the veterans. It's not teachers, fireman, police officers or unions. It's that capitalism has failed terribly and the corporatists that run the scam are the cause. You have to have honesty and integrity for capitalism to work. We have neither.
Veterans earned these benefits, their not stealing from anyone. Go after the people responsible. That's what americans should have been doing all along and we wouldn't be in this mess. The corporatists and the polticians they buy are the ones responsible. Now lets hold them accountable for their actions.

It isn't the veterans putting this country in the shape that it is in. It's the corruption of government by the corporatists. They've stolen the future from our children. They've sent many of us off to wars of greed. Many more were experimented on. Many were exposed to the most toxic substances known to man. All in the name of greed.
Many of us have spent much of our lives sick with catastrophic illnesses. We've had our lives destroyed and many have lost everything. All because of our military service. Where were the american people when we needed them to stop this insanity.
I would suggest that we hold those people accountable for what has happened to our country. And that sir isn't the veteran.

If anyone wants to see first hand what happens when you have a total corruption of government then just look at Nevada. We have 2 industries and they have a very low tax rate. They don't pay their fair share and control the state politics. We have no state tax and the governor says only cuts will solve our problems and there will be no new taxes.
We can't attract industry because our standard of living is low and our education system is a sham. We have the highest percentage wise population of illegals in the country. The highest foreclosure rates. The highest unemployment, infrastucture that is falling apart and the list goes on and on.
If this is what you want then move here. We're a tea party, libertarian dream state.

No it's you on the right that claim liberals are marxist, communist, socialist and a host of other remarks made out to be derogatory and constantly used to denigrate by the rightwingers.

As for social security, because the rightwing ideologues have claimed it to be an entitlement and their politicians make the same claim doesn't make it so. Look it up in the dictionary.

I thought the lefties were bad but the rightwingers are far beyond them in my opinion.

I used DAV and didn't care for them but I don't care for any of the VSO's. But many of the people working within were and are wonderful helpful people.

I do believe vets when they can't get care should be able to access healthcare systems in their communities, no cost to veterans.

My VAMC here in Reno is pretty good, but I've been to a number of VAMC, many years ago and they were bad, real bad. I'm talkimg 20 to 40 years ago.

Where does your right wing vitriol stop. Why do you insult people when their opinion is different than yours.

Cut the BS, you intimated that social security is an entitlement, we pay for it, even the illegals.

As for the effect on our country and the Obama healthcare plan we won't know for quite some time. It was just enacted and only part. As for Tricare it has been bantered about for quite some time along with raising copays for meds.

And anyone can set up their retirement outside of social security. It's just insurance. And I know you believe in the insurance industry.

Did you notice the drop in the market in the last couple of years? They need new money and that's what's pushing personal retirement accounts.

Sorry BV but the Boston Tea Party was about taxation without representation not high taxes.

The new tea Party didn't realize under Obama their taxes went down.

The COLA is figured by way of the CPI-W which is tied to inflation. That was passed in the 70's by both parties and a republican president.

If you get rid of the social programs, such as DVA, medicare and medicaid, what do you do with the people. These programs are directed towards the poor and sick. We veterans didn't asked for our health problems that were brought on by our military service.

This type or care is needed. It would be a vast improvement over the pill popping as CK says.

I dare say a few thousand to buy your way into financial heaven, then we as veterans should pool our money and buy his influence to get the bluewater veterans and all others exposed their just due.

Baucus, McConnell, Boehner, and others receive millions to make sure the healthcare bill would do almost nothing and not a peep out the rightwingers. Boehner has received hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure there is no wallstreet reform and nothing, not a peep.

I can see Filner retiring with all his illgotten gain.

You want to stop money from flowing to these crooks then support public financing of elections and get rid of this neocon supreme court.

Larry how was the fishing? I took 11 days in the high Sierras about 3 weeks ago and the fishing was great.
