Military, veterans benefits only parts of ecomony cut by Porkulus
Fox News Live | 2/15/09

Posted on 02/15/2009 11:55:49 AM PST by pabianice

Fox News is on air now giving details of Porkulus. According to Fox, the only part of the economy to be cut by Porkulus is our military -- 10% "to start," in the words of Barney Frank, for maintenance, training, and procurement. Other details include the Veterans Administration sharply cutting medical treatment for vets, and for military retirees, patient premiums and co-pays for TRICARE are being raised 100-400%, PLUS medical care for veterans and retirees will be the first to be rationed by the White House Office of Healthcare Coordination.

FEEL the love, tolerance, and bipartisanship...

I don't see how they could force participation.

Good question.

Ditto. I cannot find any references, and if there aren’t any, we are going to be a bit angry.

You can’t come out and say, “Fox News reports..” without providing any links to Fox News. That’s not how it works.

We need to have him removed, PRONTO, if this nation has any hope of survival.

And how do you propose we do that? Impeach him with a Pelosi Congress and try him with a Reid Senate?

Fat chance.
