Indeed it is ugly Byron, I hope and pray often that the money that is missing would be located and re- allocated to the VA for medical and personal, for VA hospitals to get the care for the soldiers from these wars going back to at least Viet Nam and current mideast wars, for the sick, maimed and broken for one and for another to get the GI bill of rights caught up with todays cost of living.
Though it has been awhile I have written my local congressional members a few times regarding the grievious things to do with this subject
some do what they can within the limits of their power others think nothing needs done but in either case they have had the courtesy to write back and acknowledge these concerns as truthful and caring.
It seems over the years from my personal walk and POV, especialy in the last twenty years that the seperation of the three branches of government, Legislative, Judicial and Executive have slowly but surly been blurred, these three branches and the seperation is one of the great things our Nation has had that many people in other countries only dreamed of and to witness this great system erode and breake down by loosing this seperation between the three branches has caused many political and military problems to develope.
Peace,
