@JohnByrnes13@HouseVetAffairs@thehill Sure John, keep making the socialist argument.
“The government will spend your money on others better than you could spend it on you and your family”
You want the care options, fine, I want the retirement I was promised. Stop telling us they need to be connected.
Congress targets programs that send benefits directly to veterans because there's less bureaucracy involved. When money goes through multiple agencies, contractors, or organizations, there are more opportunities for waste, mismanagement, and lack of accountability. Direct payments to veterans are much harder to divert or misuse.
@JohnByrnes13@JeremyRichard82 Stop trying to give my retirement to the government to care for others… just give the vet that deserves the retirement their money, and then take care of veterans
@BskiMike22802 I was making $11 an hour when my wife got pregnant with our first… we made the decision then that we didn’t want anyone else raising our children. She’s been a stay at home mom ever since.
@HouseVetAffairs Oh… so you’re the House Committee on American Taxpayer Affairs now?
Either change your name or do your job, everybody in congress is there at the behest of the taxpayer, your job on that committee is to look after the subset of taxpayers called veterans.
Do that or f*€< off
🚨 UPDATE ON TCAVA SUPPORT LIST 🚨
Veterans need to pay attention to who is now being listed as supporting the Take Care Of America’s Veterans Act.
Mission Roll Call is now being pushed as a supporter.
Here is why that matters:
Mission Roll Call is tied to America’s Warrior Partnership.
America’s Warrior Partnership has Daniel Gade on its board/advisory leadership.
And Daniel Gade is not just some random name to disabled veterans.
He has been tied to arguments that VA disability compensation can discourage work, reward inactivity, and trap veterans in a “disabled veteran” identity.
That is exactly why many disabled veterans see this as controversial.
This is not about attacking an organization.
This is about asking a fair question:
Is TCAVA being backed by rank-and-file disabled veterans who will live under this bill — or by policy networks that already believe VA disability compensation needs to be reformed?
Because when a bill includes language that puts future VA rating changes, tinnitus, sleep apnea, disability caps, and wounded veteran pay at risk, veterans have every right to scrutinize every name on that supporter list.
TCAVA is not the clean Major Richard Star Act.
Veterans do not need smoke and mirrors.
Veterans need the original H.R. 2102 and H.Res. 1247.
No VA benefit cuts.
No 50% cap.
No wounded paying for wounded.

@RandPaul@NTU@taxreformer Well… except my pay check. As a chapter 61 retired combat veteran, you specifically blocked my retirement pay check. Too expensive for the most prosperous nature in history to honor their promise to injured veterans, at least, thats your opinion🤷🏽♂️
@ConcernedVetsFL See what they do is, they take all the money that they owe veterans for retirement benefits, and they add a couple billion to that, and then government programs to “help” the veterans who they stole retirement from.
Classic formula
“Im from the government and I’m here to help”
@HouseVetAffairs@DoleFoundation Hey!
Instead of honor our commitment to veterans, we’ve come up with super complex bureaucracy to spend more money within the government, rather than giving Veterans their earned retirement benefits!
Stop trying to sell us garbage and telling us its gold!
@JohnByrnes13 Or… because we recognize what actually benefits veterans, and more government bureaucracy, telling us they are making our lives better, doesn’t pay our bills and put food on our tables.
The government lied, told us they would give is our retirement, and then took it.
@danlomos@MikeWingerii You see the difference between Mikes post and your statement is that he made an argument, you just made am uncorroborated statement
