"This is not free," said Chu. "Buddha is not raining cash on the federal government. ...This is a question of how do we use the nation's limited resources."

Funny thing, Chu, your boss (Pres Bush) has no qualms about sending $100 million to fund dysfunctional education programs in the Congo, and another $500 million to fund condom giveaways in Africa, and another couple hundred million to fund minority housing.

So take your condescending attitude and stuff it. Your boss is failing miserably at rationalizing the pork he's stuffing down our throats. I guess Bush was right when he said "Help is on the way" - help is on the way for homos, third world nations, and illegal immigrants. Evidently veterans are not one of the groups he plans on helping.

Thank you for confirming that there really is no difference between liberals and conservatives.

I guess you think that because its YOUR pork, that its better than the pork that comes from the liberal side?

Chu is right. No matter your military service, there was NEVER a promise of military retirement pay ON TOP of VA benefits. That would be double dipping.

Instead of trying to justify YOUR pork, just because our pretender president seems to have no problem giving pork to everyone else, why not get on the side of NO PORK for ANYONE?
