Why hasn't our government taken care of us older veterans? The benefits I know have by being 100% disabled are now give to those who aren't disabled and even their dependants. I am 56 and have never had a home to call my own. I have struggled for 27 years to keep a rented house and pay my bills. I have been bankrupt twice. Recently Congress passed legislation to protect " credit card holders"? No, it was to protect banks, it gave them 3 months to double all the credit card holders interest rates they could. This will now bankrupt me again as in it's infinite wisdom , disabled vets and social security recipients will get no cost of living increase this year. How many veterans do you think are impacted negatively by this logical act. 50 million maybe and more citizens who paid their taxes and pay congress's salary will be hurt badly. People will die in their homes, they will starve or freeze to death. It won't be Swine Flu that kills us, it will be Congress. How about giving disabled vets a stimulus check to help pay off their debt, don't you owe us, or is there some question about the debt owed us. Help us!
