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.

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.

All spending on education cut to zero?

Did you not read my previous post? I said to not only cut education funding to 0, but also all social services as well. None of these are delegated as responsibilities to the federal government, so there should be no funding for them. Military concerns, on the other hand, are delegated to Congress, and should be funded. By definition, all military spending should take priority over social spending.

As per the 10th amendment, education is a state and local concern, and should be handled as such.

If millions of welfare recipients have to die on the streets to pay for the benefits duly earned by even one single veteran, then so be it.
