There is just no doubt that the Regime has more concern’s about the health care of illegal aliens than vets. Just look at them scrambling to take care of the flood of kids and families coming across the border with little thought of deporting them..instead they are looking for more funds to give the housing, food, medical care and social workers. That money should be going to help our Vets.
At the same time the VA is stone walling Congress(the people) just like the IRS, DOJ, State Dept, EPA etc. The bureaucracy has no intention of letting the people know what they are really doing...and no intention of changing their methods of operation.
The GOP seems powerless, even with the purse strings, to stop them.
Without the Teaparty it would be hopeless..but we stand a chance of turning things around.

2.5 yrs to go in the Baraqqi regime.

So yes, any problems between now and then are due to the “transition”.

With 900,000 Vets on Food Stamps, Obama Cuts Military Benefits

December 25, 2013 by Daniel Greenfield

Meanwhile Obama is also looking for ways to cut military pensions and health care benefits. (via Gateway Pundit)

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities 340,000 veterans receive public money for housing. And, 900,000 veterans live on food stamps. About 5,000 active duty troops are receiving food stamps.

In the latest blow to military families Obama cut the annual pay raise to military families by nearly 1%.

And that’s not all that started going south in 2008. But this cut is only a small slice in Obama’s war on American soldiers.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel warned Tuesday that troops and their families will be asked to sacrifice on pay and benefits to preserve readiness in an era of tighter budgets.

This may be the most difficult” to achieve among his six priorities, Hagel said of proposals to trim pay increases, overhaul TRICARE and review retirement benefits while adapting to cuts in personnel.

But meanwhile money can be spent on Green Energy for the Navy and gay weddings. Because Obama has his priorities.

Not only has Obama sent soldiers to Afghanistan while tying their hands so that they can’t fight back, but he even stabbed them in the back once they got out of the hospital.

The Obama administration has asked Congress to cap annual active duty and reserve component pay raises, and to phase in over four years a complex formula for raising TRICARE fees on retirees of all ages and their families.

I bet he is steaming.

The whole private meeting and presser messed up his golf schedule. Now, his T time has to be set back a couple of hours.

He will have to fast food it for lunch and that will piss the Mrs., especially if some reporter gets pics of his burger and fries.

They need a hospital corporation administrator to take over, but we’ll probably get a woman studies professor from Chicago university.

Here ya go.

BFD. Now the Dems will say it’s fixed and the media will refuse to cover it. Obama will skate again.

Besides, he had announced his intent to retire well before the scandal broke. It means nothing.

“Where we have seen a problem,,, we have gone after it and fixed it.”

B.S.

Where and when were those problems and where and when were those fixed?”

ask Lois Lerner, whose work was sadly interrupted but no doubt continues under new management

He already has a job waiting for him at General Dynamics. Remember Shinseki cancelled the M-8 AGS vehicle for the Stryker.
