I'm
in complete disbelief. I saw and heard Congresswoman Bachman
gleefully exclaim after the government shut-down, “I haven't seen
this many Republicans smile in a long time.” Then after shutting
down the government with the sole intention to prevent millions of
Americans from getting a shot at healthcare, they decided to pass a
number of bills to exempt some like certain veterans, people who want
to visit some National Parks, oh!, and a little girl who needs a
operation. Oh!, and we'll pay the furloughed government employees
for not working, but civilian contractors and impacted civilian
personnel can do without. Our representatives haven't batted an eye
at the condition where millions of children will go to sleep hungry
tonight, because of their folly.
As
a Purple Heart and totally disabled veteran, I am sick in my stomach
to think of what my compatriots and I sacrificed for the good of all
Americans, only to have greedy self-interested politicians
pick-and-choose which of their benefactors they will support.
They'll probably be embarrassed enough to eventually pay me, but I
would gladly sacrifice that, if they would do what's best for all of
us, instead of playing political games.
