Do Nothing Congress goes home with no Veterans Budget in place
Its time for replugs to run home to their districts and play golf. This leaves the Fiscal Budget Year 2007 VA budget lanuishing in Speaker Hastert's inbox .

What does this mean to us who have served unlike the replugs. Facility ungrades go on hold, new equipment won't be purchased. New programs promised will now go bye bye. Staff will be laid off , including nurses. Which in the best way to put it is freezes on everything.

The VA will now run only on emergency funding until after the elections. Again Veterans and returning troops will be put on waiting list so huge it blows your mind. You will see more homeless Veterans on the streets. All I can say and I am being nice is this.

It's time to stop hurting veterans because these replugs can't get off their duffs and do their dam job. Yes I am in a dam bad mood . They can pass a torture bill that will hurt our troops . But can not fund the men and women who kept this Country free will at least until Dubba came to office. Done with my rant . Lets kick these lowlife's out of office and get our Country back.
