The Shining City Upon a Hill

Let's see who really benefits. "All veterans who left the ranks in summer 2017 or later' and "Veterans who left between summer 2014 and summer 2017" but what about those of us who left ranks between the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom and the summer of 2014? And then 3 paragraphs later it states "Those who age 85 and older" and in the same paragraph it states "For others, the presumptive status will start on Oct. 1, 2026."

Now lets do some math. All those who left in the summer of 2017 or later would be age 65, if they left because they reached mandatory retirement age, or younger and won't reach age 85 for another 20 years or more. As for those "those suffering extreme health or financial problems." Who is going to decide if the health or financial problems are extreme enough to qualify?

Why the hell doesn't Congress just give all veterans access to Tricare for life. That way they can use the local doctor of their choice. Hopefully I can get Kevin to put that on the top of the legislative agenda for January.

They won't give all veterans access to Tricare because all the republicans and Manchin would vote against it. We all know that

And once the soldiers return from fighting the wars, Republicans would rather not hear from them again.

66% of Americans say US is in recession or worse: Poll - TheBlaze

I wonder which of the multiple other political parties do they want?

• The Green Party
• Peace and Freedom Party
• The Libertarian Party
• The Reform Party
• The Constitution Party
• Or one of the myriad of other that are registered in at least one state

All they need to do is see which ones are registered in their state, check each of them out and register with the one that fits them the best. But that is too much trouble for most. They just want the big name politicians to hand them somethings else which ultimately will just be a reflection of one of the 2 big parties.
