    Re: Obama Plan to Charge Wounded Heroes for Treatment

    Did you bother to read anything other than the headlines?

    First paragraph for instance:

    WASHINGTON, March 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The leader of the nation's largest veterans organization says he is "deeply disappointed and concerned" after a meeting with President Obama today to discuss a proposal to force private insurance companies to pay for the treatment of military veterans who have suffered service-connected disabilities and injuries. The Obama administration recently revealed a plan to require private insurance carriers to reimburse the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in such cases.
    Last I checked.. private insurance companies and wounded soldiers are two very different things.

      ^ In fact that seems to be the exact opposite of what the thread title implies.

      EDIT: It does seem that this is one corner we shouldn't be cutting to save money in the overall budget. It is "only" $540 million.

      You can't have manslaughter without laughter.

      "Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

          the idea is dumb out of principle of saying "you fought for US, but the U.S. cant pay.

          but ur also misleading with the person who would foot the bill at then end.
          your life is an occasion, rise to it.

            I would be happy for my tax dollars to go to helping war veterans, better that than some of these useless mothers popping out kids they cant afford to raise

                    I used to post like fiend during the Bush administration, because the guy gave me something new to be outraged about on more or less a daily basis. Been much more sedate since Obama was elected.

                    That, and my thoughts on just about every topic under the sun are pretty well documented on this forum's pages. No need to rehash it just for the sake of posting something...

                      you should be outraged about this spending bill he is proposing. The US can't afford it.

                      We should be ashamed of ourselves on here for not even having a thread dedicated to Obama's spending bill. It should be 10 pages deep by now.

                        I'm definitely outraged that the economy is in such a state that doing something like this is something we even have to consider.

                            Um.. .ok...?

                            I love it how you post a bullshit story without reading the damn thing and then 5+ people say you are full of shit but instead of backing up your own claim you post something that has absolutely nothing to do with this thread or that article.

                            Plus, that article you posted above is exactly what your first article is trying to prevent. So, to that effect, you are contradicting yourself.

                            It's just too funny.
