Bush's Veterans Commission from Hell will decuss lump-sum bayouts
Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 04:12 PM by Monkeyman
Its time for another meeting of the Veterans Disability Benefits Commission -commonly known as the "Commission from Hell" The issue up for discussion this time around is lump-sum buyouts of VA disability payments.The Reason? Save the VA money screw the vet! Currently,many replugs support this idea. Most notable Rep.Steve Buyer Hastert's hand picked Chairman of the Veterans Committee. Again they will spin this as good for the veteran not telling him if he takes the buyout his health care is gone. First I ask this is the buyouts manatory or optional? This will become a very slippery slope for veterans. My feelings here is Bush and Nicholson are trying to make the VA a thing of the pass.

1. Dismantle the VA - a very republican thing to do
I hate to be hateful but they make me do it. I welcome all bush supporters in this predicament to take the buyout. I think the American Legion and VFW should urge all bush supporting members to walk the plank for their great leader.

- The American Legion can kiss my big liberal combat zone Ass
- The VFW has me for life because I earned it and there ain't nothing they can do about it.

2. Nicholson is a POS!
He banned VA reps from doing any PR about compensation, disability! He and GW would love to see what's left of the system terminally fail. I'm 50% SC and not about to accept a buyout.
