U.S. Gov. trying to shit on vets again. Notice there are 3 veterans programs in the top 20 proposed for cut.

What bullshit!

I'm not surprised anymore. They're really a push out there for helping veteran's, cutting down on the 22 suicides a day, etc, but we continue to see this. It's f*cking disgusting.

I agree completely CGF.

While these may never make the light of day to be voted on its enraging that some piece of shit would even consider to put it to paper.

"Eliminate Concurrent Receipt of Retirement Pay and Disability Compensation for Disabled Veterans"
"Narrow Eligibility for Veterans’ Disability Compensation by Excluding
Certain Disabilities Unrelated to Military Duties"
"Restrict VA’s Individual Unemployability Benefits to Disabled Veterans Who Are Younger Than the Full Retirement Age for Social Security"
Retirement pay was part of the agreement to earn retirement. Disability is part of the cost of becoming disabled and losing some ability to seek employment. Combat wounds are part of combat. Apparently, if you happened to serve in the military, which just might cause you to follow orders and your training to be sent into harm's way it can be held against you that you also earned a pension or got wounded. Hey, anything to save a buck!?!?! :mad:

Sounds like their asking for a fight to me.

Restricting IU...

My issue is what happens if your problems have gotten worse a few years like many of us. And can no longer work towards contributing to a retirement plan. So I am now being punished for serving my country.

More is coming I'm sure when the government spends 346 billion a year on illegal immigrants there is none left for citizens that fought

I remember seeing something on the news today how one state senator was getting major shit for taking funding away from programs for vets on suicide prevention. It's pretty sad when f*cking illegal aliens are being treated better than vets.
