CBO trying to screw vets again..

[ironglow]

Recently the CBO suggested cutting benefits for Vets who have done well financially.  They figure that those veterans who can support themselves well, so they should be cut off from benefits.
 
    However, the VA boss tells the CBO to seek out somebody else to rip off!

 The morning host on Newsmax, Carl Higbee..former Navy Seal..who has many injuries and carries artificial parts in his body, interviewed a couple other vets..also on disability.  One, Gen Blair Holt..has a couple metal knees and other repairs.
  Why should these men surrender surrender rights?  So they are doing well..but riches can go sour over night, whereupon they would need such help.

    For members of Congress and those who run for president (unwounded) are doing well also..should they not also
 do as Trump did, and forego any pay?

  Thankfully, at least for the present, the government may have to keep their promises.

  So, what would they do with those funds they take from wounded warriors?  Probably spend it on some free loader group to buy votes..or start some kind of trillion dollar project, where they can scrape some off.
