Sen. Larry Craig Chairman of Veterans Committee Fails to raise Co-pays
Sen. Larry Craig Chairman of Veterans Committee takes aim at veterans. But loses the battle as he tries to increase VA enrollment fees and Co-pays.
Over Craig's objections. Democrats on the Subcommittee diverted funding to prevent increases in VA and TRICARE fees.
How ever showen how much of a baby he is. He is holding hostage funding for new VA facilities.
The Subcomittee deverted $795 million to help keep veterans from ending up homeless.
Craig's comments where not for the public but was reported to say I do not care how many non-wounded veterans are not taken care of.
Just a replug showen his real side a Replug dog liar.
Craig has gone home to his district and lied to veterans saying there will be no cuts or co-pays. But the truth of the matter Craig is pushing Bush cuts to veterans.

1. Craig is yet another chickenhawk republican
Who wants to give big business all the breaks. He simply has no other interest. The only time he tried a business venture he landed in bankruptcy and his employees got no payroll check. He stick to politics.

3. I've heard this a comin'
since the very late '90s that the VAs co pay will be raised as our disability ratings will be lowered as well. Sad isn't vets? Yet, those who are still believers of this Bush regime are signing up to later come home to a nice benefit package. HA! No way! Those cuts are a comin' :mad:
