I don’t usually say this, but all three of you are idiots.
Maybe, I mean, I sometimes think I’m an idiot for believing what we were told about what America is in grade school, but in this case, feel free to point to one thing I’ve said in this thread that’s wrong.
Do I really have to explain to all three of you what a sacred trust is? The people of this country, even before it became a nation, made a vow to the soldiery. Protect us, fight for us, possibly become maimed or even killed for us and we’ll take care of you or your widow and orphans. Now comes a time when certain groups, especially statists and libertarians, say that there’s not enough money in the till to make good on our promises and you’re on your own. Sorry. Well, that won’t cut it. If there’s money to buy food stamps, rent payments, cash payments, medical & dental and a host of other things for people who did nothing for society other than winning the “Born in the USA” or “Snuck into the USA” lotteries, there’s enough to keep a promise.

Classy response to an insult, quesney
2ndDivisionVet, you have reduced yourself to using liberal tactics. That is way beneath you and your abilities, from the little I’ve seen.
And you’re not clearly reading what is said - if anyone said vets should not get their pensions or medical while welfare types get freebies, they belong on another forum.
The priority for government payments if I ran the country would be vets first, SS next with no means testing, free handouts dead last with lots of requirements to get those.
Problem is, we are in debt up to our eyes balls while Obama is spending like crazy, adding to that debt.
I hope this economy-on-a-cliff can hold on for years, but at some point it will crash. And I want people like you to recognize the problem so you are prepared and can weather the storm.
Perhaps you in the anger phase of the grief process? or bargaining? Either is good because that means you will quit being in denial that we have a real and unavoidable problem. Those that will suffer the most are those that don’t see it coming and have a normalcy bias that paralyzes them when they need to react.
