The Occasional Observer

Sometimes I see a story that gets me so pissed off I don't even know where to begin. This is such a story. Republicans and Democrats should be embarrassed, disgusted, and sickened by themselves that they have still failed to fix the VA system and provide more-than-sufficient funding for our veterans returning home. For F's sake, can everyone just stop being so beholden to party politics for once and agree that a top priority must be providing as much care as necessary for returning soldiers? I am sickened when I read about stories like this where soldiers are not given adequate medical treatment, or that their houses are foreclosed or utilities shut down while they are overseas b/c they can't pay the bills, or that they can't get jobs or assistance when they return. I'd like to see some real leadership for once from someone to actually DO something rather than just talking up the issue. How can this still be an issue in this day and age?
