“I won’t stand by & let Obama waste our hard-earned tax dollars on these freeloading veterans"

[ProfessionalLeftist]

All amputees being treated in Ohio Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals will be forced to share prosthetics after Governor John Kasich formally denied a $5,000,000 grant from the federal government late last week.
Under normal circumstances, veterans who lose a limb in battle are fitted for their own custom prosthetics. Without the funds necessary to continue this program, Ohio veterans will now have to share a dozen or so generic prosthetics across the entire state.

The federal grant was made available to Ohio last year after former Governor Ted Strickland appealed to Congress for assistance because of the increased volume of amputees returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

In a speech at Ohio State University on Sunday, Kasich said the grant is unnecessary and is a prime example of “irresponsible liberal deficit spending.”

“The federal government is 14 trillion dollars in debt,” Kasich said. “I won’t stand by and let President Obama waste our hard-earned tax dollars on these freeloading veterans of foreign wars.”

2. This has to be a joke.

I can't see any politician calling a vet a freeloader or forcing people to share a prosthetic.

Though I've never read the site I'm pretty sure what I'm reading is satire.

I don't know what was better-the police telling the guy to cut his hand off or the gangbangers throwing cat poop.

5. That can't be the actual quote...n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

6. A spoof article - so Gov. Kasich didn't say it. But he doesn't have to because his actions say it.

[silverweb]

9. Satire. Fortunately.

Federal appropriations determine VA spending and governors have absolutely nothing to say about it.

It had me going for a while there, though.

10. This is a satirical article

11. If Kasich was able to tell the truth, that WOULD be a direct quote.

Because that's what repukes think and believe, damn them.
