Still have ANY thoughts about your government giving a fuck about you?

To understand an organizations mindframe/agenda you have observe how it treats its "most valued employees."

Here, we'll look at the current administration as the 'organization', and the American Troops as the 'most valued employees'.


Of course, we pretend that there is a prominent line between the dems and republicans at the congressional/senate level (FOH).

But yeah,

We all see the flag waving patriots on both sides of the ball as well as the pundants on FOX/CNN/MSNBC all day tawmbout the same shit day in/day out, 'Whatever your stance is on the war, SUPPORT THE TROOPS'. Okay we got it, support the troops no matter what, right? Its pretty cut and dry that even thru a fucked up war we should probably support the folks that volunteered to put their trust in the hands of the social elite. (me being one of those folks, surprise surprise). Its pretty convincing to a youngin to sign up to fight for money for school or patrioitic reasons, but most of us did it for the money and school.

And for that reason alone, them folks deserve benefits for being the 'most valued employees'.

How do we show them how much they are appreciated? Sen Jim Webb introduced a Bill that supercedes the current G.I. Bill that only covers about 60-70% of tutuion costs for veterans. The current G.I. Bill caps off at $1,100 a month while the new Bill sets the cap at $1,300. Also, the current G.I. Bill can only be used if you PAY $1,200 when you first sign up with the armed forces (how fucked up is that? I got a bonus of $1500 for signing up, but had to pay $1200 to get access to education benefits), while the new Bill allows servicemen/women access to the benefits with NO pay in.******
All in all, a MUCH better Bill than the last one....so why do right wingers not want to give they troops the bread they deserve?

Well, Jon Stewart can articulate this far better than I can, plus its easy to put a youtube clip up instead of explainin it myself...here peep game.





Fortunately, this Bill was approved, which gives me some hope that there are at least SOME folks out there that are standing up against these corporate whores. Again, it does not take a rocket scientist to understand a group of crooks have infiltrated the white house as it has happened many times before...but yeah, this administration was the WORST one of all, no question about it.


McCain, even as P.O.W., VET, and Politician wanted to shut this Bill down. Surpisingly, the Prez wanted to do the same thing. They both did not want to give troops money for their education.


So, if Bush/McCain don't even give a fuck about the people who STILL champion their cause (for reasons I do not understand), what do you think they think about you??
