Why does Bush give Billions to Iraq people but will not give much money to the Veterans Affairs to help Vets?

Answer 1

Because he does not care about those Americans put through his meatgrinder in Iraq.

Answer 2

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best. Bush gives a disproportionate amount of funds to the Iraqi people, but cuts veterans’ benefits, because he doesn’t really care about the troops in any real sense. He, like most Republicans, talks about the lofty virtues of patriotism, but in reality he does not have any substantive pride in this country. He may pay lip service to our servicemen, but in reality Bush, Cheney and Wolfwitz see our troops as cannon fodder; a means to end in their never ending struggle to capitalize off this war.

Bush, and his cohorts, think like businessmen, not as leaders who are truly at the service of their constituency. He, like all businessmen, always looks for the angle that ensures his business interests and those of his colleagues and supporters, even if this angle comes at the expense of American lives. If this means garnishing needed funds away from veterans so as to bribe the Iraqi people, then so be it.

He isn’t the Commander and Chief of the armed forces, whose job it is to guarantee they get the best, as they so rightly deserve for their sacrifices. Instead, he behaves more as a CEO who sees the soldier as a cost, and not an asset, and like all ruthless CEOs he will cut costs in way he sees fit.

Answer 3

Why am I getting the impression that you have applied for a Service-Connected Disability and it has been denied? Thousands of men retire each year and decide to see if they can get a monthly check from the VA because they had a headache 30 years before while on active duty. You sucked at the federal trough your entire working life and you still want more. Go volunteer at a VA hospital and see if you can help a real veteran!

Answer 4

It is not president Bush... it's congress... when moneys are set to the military agenda, it gets so many divisible attachments to it , that the result is insignificant in effect.
I agree with the person who questioned the pay scale of the military personnel...if bureaucratic manipulation of funds were investigated , the where-abouts of billions of dollars approved toward the pathetic pay scales of military personnel would bring about one the most through clean-outs of government fraud this country has ever seen..!!!

The Veteran Affairs is handicapped by public apathy, dis-interest,
intentional distractions, and / or funding dilutions by association. THAT's how our taxes wind up in Iraq.
What...?... you don't believe me..??.. tell me you believe your taxes are being spent the way your personal politician implied to you he would see to it they be spent...

Answer 5

Lady Partee' (Lady of the Party) which means a noble political woman in American English it is equal to chairwoman Yule Daffodil Enshia. She is the National-Union Ambassador to the world about our political views and agenda. She believes that it is these fraudulent programs in Congress allowed by the White House, which obstruct the justice that veterans deserve in healthcare. She has stressed in a political career from a press secretary to the head of a political party that this issue concerns working mothers and the middle-class, http://www.voteprimous.com

Answer 6

Whatever dude - the iraqi citizens are getting no money.
Iraq is just the cover for legal embezlement of our tax dollars.
Every defense contractor on earth is having very good years since bush invented this conflict.

Besides you know how repubs think.
Those vets should have worked harder or stayed in school.
Tax money should be spent on corporate welfare not imporving the overall standard of life in this country.

Answer 7

I worked there. Why bother. The money will disapear rather than treat the patients. OR do you think the money will be better managed than Katrina clean up or Iraq reconstruction.

Answer 8

Because he and the government in general don't care about the Vets. Plus, Bush is an a**hole. I know. I have a nephew who was injured in Iraq and he was treated like crap, even while he was in recovery for his injuries. It was even worse when he got out of the service.

Answer 9

"VA's fiscal year 2005 spending was $71.2 billion -- $31.5 billion for health care, $37.1 billion for benefits, and $148 million for the national cemetery system. President Bush sought $73 billion in the fiscal year 2006 budget for VA, a $1.8 billion increase in budget authority, primarily for health care and disability compensation."

They have money. Do not be foold by misinformation.

Answer 10

Because it's approved by the Congress as it All spending! It's nice to bash Bush for it but he doesn't control the purse strings! Why do we give $480 Billion a year in foreign aid when our military makes poverty wages?
