		<description><![CDATA[A picture paints a thousand words, they say.
fraud and corruption in the good ole USA


I have waited for nearly 5 decades for the VA to acknowledge my injuries
The last 10 have been at the BVA, 3 remands with no end in sight.


The judges use paper shuffling techniques and remands to legally delay claims until the veteran dies, or until they deny it and the veteran goes to court and the BIG hamster wheel is brought in.


The president and congress do absolutely nothing except hold meetings. I say the next war that they start Americans should insist that they are in the front ranks leading the fight. This way maybe they will really appreciate what a veteran is....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The expense on art was in contracts in building new and rehabbing long ignore VA facilities, much of that art purchased from Veterans who are the Artists!!!!
How much is Miller and company paying for the extremely bad press and false charges?!
The Abandoning of the missions and the purposes of, along with the once
again promises to the Afghan people, first time was after the
Afghan/Soviet long war, quickly after 9/11, with the Lives still being lost, those serving still being wounded!!! Giving rise to, with the rhetoric from within, not a victory over, and spread of al Qaeda type ideology criminal terrorism!!!

The Cost of War, All Costs, the Responsibility of Those Served

&quot;12 years also is a long time. We now have a lifetime responsibility
to a generation of service members, veterans and their families.&quot; Dr. Jonathan Woodson 11 Sep. 2013: &#039;With 9/11 Came Lifetime Responsibility&#039;

There&#039;s only one branch of Government, Federal and States, consistently
doing for not only us Veterans&#039; but also the Military personal and their
Families and without the control of the Countries purse strings and combining
the Cabinet agencies abilities to help where possible with their
budgets. That&#039;s the whole Executive branch under President Obama. Doing
what Congress, and State legislatures in passing feel patriotic support bills that are unfunded, and the people represented by them and served by the
Military refuse to do, Sacrifice, especially the wealthy!

Decades, and wars of, of under funding the VA. With these two recent
wars little was done for the Veterans of as well as the Military
personal, i.e. Walter Reed as one example, and their Families, in the
first years of both under the previous executive branch and those
congresses. Rubber stamped war costs, off the books and on the countries
credit card with no bid private contracts, including building an
expensive private merc army! That&#039;s not adding in all the other rubber
stamped costs of the bush administration policy wants, especially in the
first six years of!

Rachel Maddow: &quot;We got a huge round of tax cuts in
this country a few weeks before 9/11. Once 9/11 happened and we invaded
Afghanistan, we kept the tax cuts anyway.
How did we think we were going to pay for that war? Did we think it was
free?

Then, when we started a second simultaneous war in another country, we
gave ourselves a second huge round of tax cuts. After that second war
started. The wars, I guess, we thought would be free, don`t worry about
it, civilians. Go about your business.&quot; 23 May 2013

&quot;If military action is worth our troops’ blood, it should be worth
our treasure, too&quot; &quot;not just in the abstract, but in the form of a
specific ante by every American.&quot; -Andrew Rosenthal 10 Feb. 2013

David (CBS News) Martin: &quot;Then there&#039;s the financial cost. To date,
the Pentagon has spent more than $500 billion on the war in Afghanistan.
A defense spending bill the Senate is expected to pass this week would
add another $80 billion to that.&quot; 17 December 2013

That&#039;s not counting those decades to come results from costs and the once again ignored, by those served, issues!

The wars, neither Afghanistan nor Iraq, have yet been paid for. Nor
especially the now decades to come, DeJa-Vu all over again, the of
results for those sent, over and over, and the continuing under funding
the Peoples Responsibility, the Veterans Administration charged with
much more then just caring for the wounded, as those served ignore most
of those results from!!

&#039;Cost of War&#039; site {real and estimated costs}: &quot;Total
US federal spending associated with the Iraq war has been $1.7 trillion
through FY2013. In addition, future health and disability payments for
veterans will total $590 billion and interest accrued to pay for the war
will add up to $3.9 trillion.&quot; 19 March 2013 © 2011 Watson Institute, Brown University

		<description><![CDATA[One single hellfire missile cost $58,000.00
So killing one unknown suspected terrorists with ak47 who is in Yemen or Pakistan or Somalia, cost 58k but the war veterans are homeless. If you trade one hellfire missile you can buy a house for a homeless vet. 
Caesari I&#039;m sure you regret serving that country.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While Bush&#039;s record on veterans&#039; benefits was not great, the truth is, both sides of the aisle have had successes as well as failures in equal measure when it comes to supporting veterans.  This includes Bush, whose overall VA budgets were too low, yet he significantly increased medical care spending and cost of living allowances while reducing processing time for claims.  At the same time, the VA has a long history of fraud, waste and abuse, and this, too, has been a non-partisan problem.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m a veteran and my medical needs reside in the greater Los Angeles VA medical system. Not only do I think this is ridiculous, but I am infuriated that I have to go to three different Hospitals within Los Angeles County just to get treatment. Also, the treatment I get is far from satisfactory.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The worst dereliction was under the Bush administration. To say things have gotten worse under the Obama administration is preposterous.  No group has further undermined VA benefits than the GOP. As for these purchases of art, WTF, as if the president himself is sitting down on Amazon.com picking things out. This is not journalism but an unsubstantiated harangue.]]></description>
