Sen Ron Johnson - VA Too Expensive To Fund. Why Serve If You Will Be On Your Own If Hurt. [View all]

As reported on Daily Kos this GOP Senator seems to think that taking care of vets is too expensive. So maybe the solution is that no vet comes back from a war. What does the GOP propose to do if they do not think we need VA. I am sure private insurance will cover the bill just fine.

The problem is that obstructionist GOPPERS have caused the problem in the first place. And their idea is to privatize the VA like everything else. Say we privatize Congress and make them work for no pay.
