Here it is Thanksgiving, another year where young Americans will stand a lonely watch some where overseas and wishing he or she was home for dinner. I had nine of those and would have eleven more if fate and a tank trap had not decided to change my plans. like the man said if you want to make god laugh just tell him you plans. But the real reason for my post is that there is stioll not a budget pased by Washington! Congress sends their version and the President waves it off. Our soldiers, children, and our veterans are being used as checkers in a sick and twisted game. I was at the Nashville VA medical center for 2, 30 minute appointments just the other day it, both were set for before 1000 hours I got out around 1500 hrs. I have to drive 210 miles when I have an appointment for this they allocate 13 dollars .
The pharmacy is having to slow down filling prescriptions due to funds some of the more expensive drugs ar being despinsed to inpatients only. This happening accross the board. Folks please get a hold of your `congressman and senators and let them know that our veterans and sick and children are not toys or barging chips or tading cards this and will cost lives in the long run. for I do not know what I would do with out my meds that the VA gives me but twice this last month I have had to buy my meds out of my pocket they ran me four hundred dollars even with medicare helping out. Every one yells support our troops and yes by God's Greatest Blessing we live in this great country but supporting the troops is not just a catch phrase, and it also means that those who served. These guys are coming home and now they are in line for medical treatment that is being used as black mail device by both parties to get what they want. I know I m sick of hearing the term red state blue state. Last I checked I was O D green and my blood ran red white and blue I do not want a news company telling me what I just heard! I do not want a politician to say well for thirty years the other guys did wrong so whats the big deal if I do it wrong now. The big deal is if you point your finger and tell the world how wrong the other party has been then you had better be man enought not to do the same thing and say oops! Please let the DC beltway know we are not paying them for the fun of it they are there to work for us and if they can not complete their duties we can hire some one who can!
