Of course, last but not least, is Bush's spending on 3rd world crap and then HYPOCRITICALY calling this spending bill sinful.

Well I hope you have some vitriol for Jesse Helms about the 3rd world spending, since he was one of the biggest backers.

Semms that mitiaman7 has left out the part where this will cost $29 billion over 10 years. Close to over 30 times the cost of the one time $500,000,000 cost for 3rd world Aids prevention.

Miltiaman's post is the epitomie of a chicken little, vitriol starting, not all the facts presented thread that has been seen too much lately on FR.

I respect your points. However the standard of living in the US is probably 30 times that of the third world too. There are plenty of numerators and denominators in any form of money spending priorities by the government. It's a socialist nightmare for sure.

militiaman apparently does not have top-of-the-mind access to his particuar injuries, his disability, his current pension and suppliment, his potential pension and suppliment if this bill is signed, and the processes and review mandates that are employed to ensure that a veteran's condition IS a result of active duty injury, that his infirmity is authentic, and that the % of disability is practical. I have a 100% disability to work as an ESPN World's Stongman Competition professional or a Jewish Rabbi. But I have 0% disbility to work 99.99% of other jobs.

He sure was pissed though. Maybe he should have saved his painful diatribe and just linked us to the two websites that apparently tell it all. What a crock.

There is so much room for fraud and manipulation and historical revisionsm in these programs. Dane, how do you know your backache this morning was from napping poorly on the couch yesterday or from hauling your girlfriend around on your back during Summerfest in 1980? Maybe it was swinging that 2 iron in 1991. That was a real fat hit. It's bull.

hetzman's story is important. A guy who took a bullet into the throat lung area is automatically a 100% to me - that WILL have a debilitating effect over the years. Some guy who fell of a ladder at base and dislocated his shoulder in 1985? Now he's virtually paralyzed, an 80%er? Sorry.
