If we can afford to send them over there to get killed, why is it we can't afford to bury them when they come back home dead?

It has become evident that this president is all about ego and spitefulness, not concern. when it comes to honoring America's veterans it should be bipartisan.

They've insisted on keeping the Congressional gym open as well as other perks of their office.

Sorry to hear about the benefits.
Maybe one of the Koch brothers will step up and donate the money like those other people did for Headstart.

No they havent. You are so uninformed that you need to be embarassed. Or are you just making things up..

The Senate has voted on NOTHING for over a WEEK..

Some things are so fundamentally true as to defy even my creativity.

For example:
Roses are read and violets are blue.

Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

All dressed up and nowhere to go.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
So I submit that there is nothing more to the point or truth than:

"If you want to end the pain, put a freaking clean bill up for a vote."

He is a truly heartless man.
Yes. And many people HAVE noticed.

That doesn't end the pain. The children these soldiers left behind will still be continued to get saddled with more and more debt. We owe them better than that.

I just heard on the news that these families will be getting their death benefits. Both Democrats and Republicans voted to fix this immediately.

Surely you jest Lily, the Koch's only want to buy elections.
