Wow
October 2, 2011, 11:16am (report abuse)The veterans lobby is sure strong. All these votes against a bill to reduce overpayments. They want to preserve overpayments?! That is more than greed.

Veterans will never be satisfied with anything they get. All they want is more, more, more. Their mantra is "MORE! MORE! MORE!".
Veteran welfare programs are out of control and this bill might help control the problem but veterans don't want that. They just want to get everything they can from the rest of us, even though they don't deserve it.

REAL VETERANS DON'T WHINE!

February 15, 2012, 11:49pm (report abuse)STOP THESE VETERAN WELFARE PROGRAMS NOW!
In a time when everyone else is being told to tighten their belts and cut spending the veteran welfare progeam is asking for a 10.5 percent INCREASE in their budget. That is pure and simple BULL$HIT!
It is far beyond time to put a stop to all this and cut the veteran welfare programs back to more reasonable levels.
There is no reason for this kind of crap. These whining freeloaders are simply scamming the rest of us for everything they can get.
Tell your legislators you are tired of paying veteran welfare. Tell them to VOTE NO!
