Amen. I am a disabled vet and what i samazing is that for once, under a republican congress, we are finally being taken care of. The offset may actually be taken off the rolls, which was never done under the dems. BTW, I voted straight pub. They do something, not promise to do something.

I have great respect for disabled Vets or any Vets period. Jeeze my grandfather and great uncle and father are all retired vets. I just don't want them to be spiteful and voting for Dems when they know that the Dems don't do SQUAT for them. Better off not voting then giving the Dems a leg up. Spite work only backfires. Maybe I am out of the loop when it comes to this because I saw my mother suffer on Social Security ONLY and I know first hand how it was to try and help her (I paid for all her medicine and any doctors bills she had plus gave her money on a monthly basis) and her feeling like she was helpless. If she had gotten a pension too with that she would have been able to live more decently and not struggle day to day but that was her choice in life. Not everyone gets a pension along with their social security and the ones that do should be greatful. Perhaps they can get more money who knows. If any one of our seniors (be they Vets or not) is struggling the government should help them and I am 100% with them.

But 90% of the House and 83 Senators of BOTH parties support concurrent receipt. It's the President who opposes it.
