Sky Pilot- excellent reply ,Sir. Thank You for your service. I just read Alexander on the Next american Revolution Patriot Post Aug.4,2011 One of my favorite websites. May give some comfort. I think it seems those most responsible for the
redistribution of funds/ the taxes/ and the borrowing/Debt have secured an annual pay hike for themselves that is always several percentage points higher than any scraps they can manage to throw to the Veteran—or the disabled Vet. Yet it is “everybody else” they insist must sacrifice,at such times.It seems the “progressives’ were factually shocked that the Republicans actually stood their ground for a change at least for the show. And are now setting up the TEA Party as target for their useful idiots.
Anything but consideration of the resolution called for.
I do know the Tea Party Republicans are aware of the Entitlement mess, and some of them really tried to attack the beast.
They failed. The Democrats won.
Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are exempt from ANY cutbacks - and military and veterans programs are thrown under the bus.
It's just the way it is. There is no sense in lying to ourselves about it. There is no outrage, and there will be one.
There are no more Budweiser commercials showing an adoring crowd in the airport cheering and breaking into spontaneous applause at returning veterans.
In the war of "My Entitlement Check" vs. veterans, the veterans lost.
