Well I am hopeing to see one soon maybe help out S&W keep their stocks up, maybe a M&P in .45... and I have no problem with a cut of my taxes going to Vets it's the least I could do
 
I got mine too, wow. I also got a "tax cut" on my SS and Army pension checks!!!

Of course what "tax cut" really means is they withhold less tax. I still owe the same amount of tax. so it's just a "word game."

But golly whilikers Osama done gimmie a tax cut already. Just like he promised!
 
Yippee Skippy, I got/get 3 of them. VA Disability, SAA Disability and being poor because my Federal LEO disability retirement is below the poverty level. I'm cuttin a fat hog on this deal.

Sort like I told the kid in college though. I'll give you every darned dime of it if you can figure out a way to make me pain free.

I've hurt every day, all day since the age of 21. I turn 60 in August. That 80% VA check sounds like a lot till you actually earn the darned thing. THe fused elbow. wrist and missing finger and the fused back I can deal with. The damned pain will make you suicidal!!!Heck, I figure I earned every cent of it on Tuesday alone when I spent the entire day at the VA in Boise fighting with them about my morphine. IT only took 9 hours to ALMOST get it straightened out. I just love being treated like a child and or a crook by a bunch of goverment employees who if they treated a supervisor like they did me would be diciplined and whom I more than likely out ranked when I was a federal LEO. The place would be out of business if it wasn't the government.

Spent an hour with the hospital Director and the Customer/Patient advocate who mostly said "we're sorry you had to go through that" about every 5 minutes. They also had zero response or ideas how to "fix" the problem.

Apparently it's all my fault because I chose to live in a rural area. To quote my doctor "You chose to live there you have to expect some delivery problems". Probably, but not 4 out of the last 6 months.

You ain't had any real fun till you go through 3 or 4 days of morphine withdrawl because your meds are lost in the system and they can't be re-issued till they are found!!!!

So, I'd be more than willing to send you the three $250 checks and even the monthly VA check if you can just figure out how I end up alive and pain free or with pain levels I can deal with whithout having to fight the freaking VA about 3 months out of 5. Heck even the SSA might be negotiable. Sorry but I actually need the retirement to eat so it's off the table.

Usually, the annual raise is mostly offset by the annual increase in Medicare.
Yeah, isn't that a kick in the drawers.

What you're going through just ain't right. Hope things can get better for you somehow.

Stories like this are what is really scary about the Annointed One getting his wish to "fix" healthcare. Just look at the VA to see the future of healthcare in America.
