The business about putting Vets at the end of the line after welfare people has never been particularly popular. That a veteran like Perry would "commend" such an effort raises some serious questions about all sorts of things.

Very troubling news to this veteran. But it seems to fit the pattern. I do not trust any politician who tries to renege on the promise made to us veterans those long many years ago that if we fought for our nation and suffered for it would in turn take care of our medical needs resulting from our service connected war-time duties. I pledge that I will work extra hard to defeat any politician even thinking about harming our veterans in this way!

Remember, the "secret" to Hillarykkkare was that ALL the resources now expended by the federal government on medicine or medical affairs would be consolidated, and then parceled out such that all the uninsured would get their medical coverage from those funds.

That would take all the VA, active duty military, Indian reservation, Medicare, Medicaid, FEHB and cancer research funding and consolidate it, and parcel it out on criteria determined by bureaucrats instead of Congress.

The Clintonistas and other Democrats imagined that it was the radio talk show folks who stirred up opposition to their plan ~ yet, it was pretty obvious to everyone else that trashing the Veterans was something that just wasn't going to happen.

Most Democrats still don't understand that part ~ and there's the problem.
