Why do we have - just as an example - the Wounded Warrior project wherein they get donations to pay for help to vets who came back from CheneyBushwar with devastating injuries? Really? Bake sales to help pay to take care of injured "protectors" of the American people?

Congress loves to make shit happen but never wants to pay for it. Low taxes, dontchaknow.

This low tax/right wing stranglehold on our country is so disheartening.
