Jon Stewart rails on Republicans over veterans benefit bill.

[Homerboy]

One of the reasons for this was due to quick live-saving medical attention. While all should qualify, some are actually denied. It's a shame. A terrible shame.

Billions for tax cuts, not much for our Veterans.

Billions/Trillions for more weapons too. But a FRACTION of that is budgeted for veteran care. We give them all the money in the world to kill and destroy, but virtually nothing to live and to heal.

Good details in here on the Republicans.

That’s a communism and Jesus would disapprove.

Is it communism? Or are they call it socialism now (you know like the Nazis)? Or are we on Marxism now?
They call progressive agendas something different every day - it's almost like they don't know what any of those words actually mean.

Where did that come from? I said others may not like his politics.

And how is it you're taking my post directed at you but not the "you" that you were talking about in your comment? Point being, anyone trying to say they agree with this but don't agree with his politics is a goddamned idiot as this aligns with all the rest of his politics. As has been the case with most liberals causes. There's a schism in the brains of modern conservastives where they claim to support stuff like this but hate "the politics" of the people pushing for it, because their brains have been rotted by propaganda.

Veterans forced to camp outside the capital because of the deplorables. Of course if the vets acted like the deplorables they would just storm the place

Exclusive: Vets robbed of life-saving burn pits bill have a message for Republicans

After GOP lawmakers derailed a burn pits bill that would provide healthcare to sick and dying veterans, advocates began a sit-in on the steps of the US Capitol to call for its passage on Monday. But, even if the bill passes next week, members of the veteran community tell Rachel Sharp the delay...

This. Fully agree. They could fund all of this with minimal cuts to the military budget elsewhere or minimal increases in taxes to large corporations.
