GOP Senator Calls Veteran’s Care ‘Entitlement’ We ‘Can’t Afford’

[boomerang]

But this thread is about a Republican wanting to cut money going to veterans. I stand by my assertion that he's a lowlife.

No, that's not at all what the post is about and actually reading the first post and the article linked might just help you to understand. It's about three Republicans concerned that increasing funding (not cutting funding) to the VA is being done not through the process of cutting the budget of other expenditures to cover the cost but just by signing into law a bill that says we have to pay for it with no means provided to do so. That's why the concern was expressed that it will become another entitlement program.

Now if you can understand the significance of the difference between what really went on and what your interpretation of what when on, then you sir, will be head and shoulders above your compadres. I'm holding out hope.

Outrage is totally wasted when you don't really understand what you're outraged over.

You do realize that certain types of mental health conditions keep a person from being able to interact on a job with co workers, or can cause all sorts of issues in job working with people right? That doesn't mean they can't go work out at the gym, which by the way may be recommended for a back injury or to help with a mental health issue. The perception that if a person is disabled should be something you can see is ludicrous. The perception that a mental ill person shouldn't look or act normal or go to the gym is also ridiculous. I help care for a family member who is disabled and we encourage him to get out and go to parks, and do things with people, like a gym if he feels up to it. But he is not capable of holding a job.

It's amazing how lay persons can sit back and judge others because they think a disability has to look or be a certain way in their mind.

If they can't interact with other people then wouldn't it seem to be a bad idea to encourage them to interact with other people?

We can't afford anything according to every GOPer it seems. I imagine their houses have tarps for roofs.

and i'm saying if can do all those things while holding down a nice job, meaning there are no major mental issues, no major physical issues it shouldn't be 70-100%. The closer you get to 100% that it should mean that you can't work anymore at all and need that income for life. I'm all for reasonable percentages. But you really see nothing wrong with giving 70% for nothing other than sleep apnea ??? come on.
