At Least The Knobheaded Bureaucrats In Washington Could Get This Right

I had heard this story elsewhere, and now here it is in print.

This is a crime.

Wounded military men in the hospital, some comatose, dinged by bill collectors, un- or under-paid by the military, cut off, no help. Families left helpless.

It stinks.

If we send our Men and Women into harms way, let's not add insult to injury by screwing them over when they get back.

How about an ombudsman's office for this? Someone who doesn't require 5 forms to look into something? My run-ins with the government is always death by a thousand forms in triplicate.

I think the idea is to make the issues so complex and obfuscated that no human on the face of the earth can ever access what is due them rightfully. That's what the new "Drug Benifit" is designed to do. So complex that no one will ever apply for anything.

It's a government permanent employment act. FEMA, DOE, Education, IRS. Gut em, put em on the car hood, we'll all be better off.

I'm angry about this. Its time some other people were too.

You do realize that privatization of our defense institutions would solve all these problems, right?
