March 30, 2009, 11:03am (report abuse)The damnable misery of this type of bill is that it doesnt address issues Veteran's NEED to be addressed. Specifically, a decent COLA for those of us who through no fault of our own are injured or sick and cant work not there is much employment available anyway. Could we try getting even close to the poverty level as defined by the US Government? Second, we DESPERATELY need unimpeded dental care. Ive taken care of my teeth as have many of my veteran colleagues, but as we are in our late fifties, sixties, and seventies, our best is not enough. Few, if any of us can afford the simplest dental checkup! I might be able to get heart surgery, but my teeth, as are my colleagues, are rotting out of our mouths! 70% percent of the eating surface is gone on the right side for me because two teeth are missing in the back. We have malnutrition, infection, and yes, even death because of this. Whilst trillions go to the rich, many of us are still under highway overpasses. PLEASE HELP

March 30, 2009, 11:08am (report abuse)too many words aye? that indicates lack of interest, and/or lack of intelligence. I'll bet you people don't give a good goddamn about veterans as long as they are there to fight your wars. You people couldn't conceive of life like this. I HAVE A baccalaureate degree, and damned near every aviation rating the FAA allows. I now also have a seizure disorder and PTSD from the NAM days. You don't want to pay for disabled veterans? DON'T MAKE ANY MORE! "BREVITY IS A SIGN OF AN INADEQUATE VOCABULARY."
