Then it is maybe time for a real cutback in military "entitlement" for waging war all over the place - as it is costly - and something US can not afford anymore - if the veterans of US wars could not be given the health care they deserve - then it might be a vise move to cut back on the tools who make it possible for veterans to be damaged in the first place - like venture into wars who US will loose the fight - like Iraq and Afghanistan.. And where the last of them Iraq was made up on piles of lies so clearly that people understood it a decade ago... Not enough to get the war off the table sadly enough - but clearly enough to make many make a stand against the war at leas..
I guess, if Pentagons budget was trimmed - like say 35-50 percent over the next decade - and the money you get from there - is spend on infrastructure - veterans - and all the other things who is going the wrong way in the US - you would still have a bad ass Military who could kick the famous ass against everyone who wanted to cross the US - if some of the most, wastefully programs the Pentagons have today was gutted - and the resources spend on things the Pentagons was in need of - then even with the cutbacks over the next decade - the US would still have a first rate military - with some of the most advanced weapons in the world - and specially if any of the "intelligence organizations" black program was also gutted once and for all - then it is possible the US would have far more money on their hands than they would know how to spend...
And the cutbacks should also be used to make jobs in the US, so veterans - and most americans could have the possibility of making a better future than the past have been - that and sticker federal laws on all levels - should make sure that it would be less easy for big corporations to steal and plunder the public coffins...
And maybe also cut back on entitlements" for the US Congress and Senate would be in order - after all they work for the people do they not ? And are in no need of having a better life than the average american who have to decide from day to day if they really are in any need of going to hospital for that bulb in the back, or to check up that dizziness they always have....
