There should be no discussion of cutting any benefits for veterans or any military spending until all spending on welfare, education, and other social spending is cut to 0 first.

Our veterans sacrificed too much to be thrown away at the expense of paying for a useless person's welfare check.

Veterans are indeed worth - but this demonstrates exactly why our Government is in paralysis, and the budget issue will never be solved.

Bravo! Well said! Get the lazy SOBs off their backsides and put to work. No more free money. It is unconscionable to consider cutting benefits for those who have served and protected our freedoms while letting freeloaders bask in the safety and security provided by them. Not just no but hell no!

Yeah, lets just become a socialist-Marxist country while we are at it, since everybody including grandma want her freebees. Don't cut anything, don't cut Social Security, don't cut Medicare, Medicaid, Defense and lets just see where we end up after the printing presses run out of green ink. It won't be pretty.

Well, yes and no. There's plenty of fraudulent claims going around by Vets. I'm not saying that it reaches the level of fraud that is comitted by the welfare class, but there are people that are gaming the system in order to gain disability income and status when they are not, in fact, disabled, or their "disability" did not result from military duty.

I work with one such fraudster.

The only way that we will save our Republic is by being intelligent and wise.

This post of yours is neither.

All spending on education cut to zero?

Try again, starting from the beginning.
