DISQUS

AMERICAblog: Why are our injured soldiers still suffering?

  • mike31c · 1 year ago
    it's because they don't care? It's not like the repulsive repukes in congress has ever made a sacrifice in their lives.

    But in all honesty, why haven't the CURRENT congress being held by Democrats forced the issue? They have been charge for almost 2 years now and yet this kind of crap has been allowed to continue.

    Why? So they can pawn it off on the next President and next Congress, which are both quite likely to be Democrat, and then point their fingers and say "Why aren't the Democrats doing anything about this!? Look what the Democrats are doing to our country!"

    McCain is killing Jim Webbs GI Bill in the Senate. This needs to be a top issue of this campaign. McCain does not want our veterans to go to college.

    If we overwellmingly defeat the repugs in every office around the country, we will get behind our veterans. We have been hamstrung by the narrow margine.

    why, money (and the people the administration choose to oversee it)

    from http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy08/hist.html

    although spending has gone up since '77 under carter, money to the va vs. the dod hasn't gone up as much

    year; dod; va; % of latter to the first
    1977; 97,241; 18,022; 18.53%
    2007 estimate; 571,869; 72,401; 13.74%

    17.40% average over carter's 4 years
    14.41% average of clinton's 8 years

    11.28% average of reagan's 8 years
    10.62% average of bush I's 4 years
    13.82% average of bush II's 8 years

    planned estimates over the next four nears, 16.04%

    And why is the media ignoring that 4075 Americans have died in Iraq?

    Rhetorical question.
