It's not moods, by the way....you can ask Dragn, I'm not moody, unless "good" is truly a mood.
But some things just plain fire my "enraged" muscle to full on turbo. This is one of them:
Our POTUS seems to think that raising capital on the backs of our wounded Veterans is a good idea. "The Insurance Companies should bear an equal portion of the cost of treatment"..........
Cmdr. David K. Rehbein of the American Legion, the nation's largest veterans group, called the president's plan to raise $540 million from private insurers unreasonable, unworkable and immoral.
"This reimbursement plan would be inconsistent with the mandate 'to care for him who shall have borne the battle,' given that the United States government sent members of the Armed Forces into harm's way, and not private insurance companies," Rehbein said late Monday after a meeting with the president and administration officials at the Veterans Affairs Department.
"I say again that The American Legion does not and will not support any plan that seeks to bill a veteran for treatment of a service-connected disability at the very agency that was created to treat the unique need of America's veterans," Rehbein said.
Roberts said that 11 veterans service organizations were told to come up with another plan if they didn't like this one. The groups met on Monday with Obama, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and Office of Management and Budget defense spending chief Steven Kosiak.
Come up with a plan? You Dumbass...yes I cursed......there is a plan, and all injured Vets should be taken care of in the extreme with all of the resources of the Federal Government.
"It's not the Blue Cross that puts soldiers in harm's way, it's the federal government," Roberts said, adding that the American Legion would like the existing system to remain in place. Service-related injuries currently are treated and paid for by the government.
The American Legion has proposed that Medicare reimburse the VA for the treatment of veterans.
No, American Legion, that is not a proposal, that's a surrender. You should simply say, "This we shall NOT abide."
He said that the argument about the government's moral obligation to treat wounded soldiers, sailors and Marines fell on deaf ears during the meeting.
"The president deflected any discussion when it got into any moral issue here," he said. "Any attempt to direct the conversation (to the moral discussion) was immediately deflected."
An aside to John McCain.......still think that he's a "good man"?
Then a note to politicians everywhere, when you turn your back on the Men who Served you, who fight Your wars for You.....
There will come a time when THEY turn their backs on You. And, I suspect you won't care so very much for that.
End rant.....I think I'll take one of those PTSD pills the Medic gave me lo these years ago........
Idiots.

He will have to back down on this one, Wollf - it was a stupid move on his part,
While he is giving billions to Hamas and ACORN, pushing TRILLIONS (with a T) in spending for nobody even yet knows what because they haven't read it - he pulls this? Acting like he is trying to SAVE $540 Million (with and M), when his spending programs have made Millions (with and M) irrelevant, it is all about Billions (with a B) and Trillions now.
It tells you what his mindset is. Where his values are. It tells you he will betray every promise government makes - and that is why the market cannot and does not trust him.
It tells you why Government funded health Care is not to be depended upon or trusted, for the hand that giveth can also taketh away.
This message has to be pushed to every corner of this nation.
The man is treacherous and dangerous.
