A CRUEL DISGRACE

VA stalling on care, judge told at S.F. trial Bob Egelko, Chronicle Staff Writer Tuesday, April 22, 2008 http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2008/04/22/MNQK109AA7.DTL   ================================================ This is so evil and beneath contempt as to be nearly impossible to comment on   The draft dodgers Bush and Cheney have every benefit and luxury imaginable, and to hell with the real patriots, the veterans of the war they love so much. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- excerpt from the article:   "He also ruled that veterans are legally entitled to five years of government-provided health care                                                                                        after leaving the service, despite federal officials' argument that they are required to provide only                                                                                          as much care as the VA's budget allows in a given year." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My comment on this: According to the government lawyers, they only have to provide care that the budget allows. Cut the budget, cut the care. Take that argument far enough, and there will only be funds available to keep the bloodsuckers in their luxury offices while the sick veterans die in the streets.
