#1 This was forwarded to me on a mailing list. Fred feel free to move it or edit it - but please consider leaving the list of names intact.

Its pretty impressive seeing who the MoH group lines up with.

Just wondering if the press will ever report news (esoecially fo this sort and the "Bush was right" uranium stuff) instead of functioning as a campaign arm of Kerry/Edwards-04

#3 Thats what I mean. Joe Average knows what came down, knows who, what, were, why. The uninformed will be late for work come election day and they'll be loaded that night.

#4 All you have to do is go to military.com to see the improvemments in Vetrans Benefits.I am a Vet that depends on Vetrans health care(and have for many years).The Tucson Vetrans Medical Center has taken damn good care of me($15,000 prosthetic leg for one thing,I think they are getting ripped off.Not for the leg itself,it was manufactured on-site.But the gel-sock cost $6,000.

#9 The VA estimates that the cost of providing adequate health care to all veterans under current law in 2004 is $30 billion.4 The final budget, which gives VA $30 billion for all discretionary funding in FY 2004, allocates only $29 billion for VA health care. This is thus $1 billion less than the Administrationâs own estimates acknowledge is needed to provide care to all veterans. Moreover, the VAâs fiscal constraints will get even worse due to cuts in future years. The budget passed by Congress provides $1 billion less than the Presidentâs request for FY 2005 - FY 2008.5
Overall, the VA budget for the next decade provides $6 billion less funding than Congressional
Budget Office estimates is necessary to meet obligations under current law.

#10 what an angry little man A5876! "due to cuts in future years" - how do you know what will be spent in future years, Nostradamus? Are you talking cuts in increases? Cuts in current budget? You're talking out your ass, troll. Raptor's needs were met based on his service, and good on him for that! STFU
