Alarmed and stagnated U.S. economy continues to shoot itself in both feet —
going fast nowhere.
*Former President Wilson’s foreboding [see excerpt], ie. in other words, overt private interests shall usurp the U.S. government and devour it in order to line their own pockets.
Most Republicans just don't care. If Veteran's (or any of us senior citizens really) die then that's money Elmo has saved for Trump's $4 Trillion dollar #TaxScam for himself and his #Broligarch's!
The myopic focus on vets and vet affairs amidst the hostile takeover of the gov is really missing the point. Scores of important, non-vet status people are getting canned and if we only focus on saving the vets, we risk a gov run entirely by vets: aka the dumbest and laziest people in the country.
Slashing the federal government might sound good in theory, but not when it hurts the very people who served this country. Veterans deserve more than just words—they need real support, not budget cuts that put their healthcare and benefits at risk.
Congressional and Senate Republics are 100% responsible for the rise of Trump and MAGA. Their absolute failure to push back on his damaging, ignorant and fascist policies have only emboldened Trump and his allies. We always we knew who Trump was he never hid it. Republicans made it acceptable.
They are scrambling for a response because they are Do-Nothing Democrats who thought they could just coast on the right side of anger and reap immense financial and professional awards via their mere existence.
We held up our part of the agreement. The US government is obligated morally, ethically, and more importantly legally. We will fight for ourselves and future veterans.
Right, we swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. I don’t see anything in that oath that states that the oath is fulfilled once enlistment is over.
“Scrambling to formulate a response”, the Democratic Party is obviously gridlocked and ineffective. Our Vets will not take that long to respond I assure you. We are already a trained army. One that took the Oath seriously.

they are worth more than gold more than silver veterans are priceless
The world is a big, complicated, place
And government competency is important
Plus our federal government creates the dollars that keeps everyone else solvent
While our population has increased by about 120ish million
Same thing happened when Dobbs got overturned.
Wait, it's not?
Maybe those assholes should have voted in their best interests then and cast a vote for Harris instead.
