I'm absolutely no fan of cutting veteran's benefits. We could spend 20% of what Democrats have spent on their "great society", their "great experiment", and their "war on poverty" since 1968, on veterans instead, and they'd be set for life. By the way, those entitlement programs easily account for 90% of the entire national debt. No one has been lifted out of poverty. And the social security ponzi scheme constantly teeters on the verge of insolvency, because congress voted to "borrow from it" (guess who held the majority), when it never should have been created, and has never been any adequate "insurance policy". An insurance policy assumes that premiums are deposited into investments. Social Security revenue has never been invested. Stolen? Yep. But never invested.





Oh, go back and look at one of your replies to my posts in your Fall of Saigon thread. Take a look at who was in the White House for all but one of what you claimed were successful military operations. Oh, and Saigon fell because democrats, including Joe Biden, voted to cease supporting the South Vietnamese allies. And was why Saigon fell, and why it fell the way that it did. Sort of a precursor to Afghanistan.


Keep voting your "agenda". It's not helping anything you complain about, but you keep right on voting that way.

Please read “The Last Men Out” for a correction in you thoughts on Saigon. You missed the mark on that. If you don’t like SS don’t take it.

With regards to Keystone:

State Department found in its 2014 report.
In the report, the agency wrote that 10,400 estimated positions would be for seasonal construction work lasting four to eight-month periods. Since the State Department defines "job" as "one position that is filled for 1 year," that would equate to approximately 3,900 jobs over a two-year period. In short: Most of the estimated jobs were temporary.
The State Department forecasted that no more than 50 jobs, some of which could be located in Canada, would be required to maintain the pipeline. Thirty-five of them would be permanent, while 15 would be temporary contractors.

Keystone spills have sent more than 383,000 gallons of crude oil into rural wetlands in North Dakota and more than 200,000 gallons into a pasture in South Dakota. Do a little research on toxicity of tar sands and the effects on the environment. This is Canadian oil to be refined in the US and sold to who? Here is a thought, built a pipeline from Alberta to British Columbia, contract the US to build a refinery there, no environmental threat to the US. I guess that makes too much sense.
