VA chief Eric Shinseki, one-time hero of the anti-victory left:
Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki confirmed Tuesday that the Obama administration is considering a controversial plan to make veterans pay for treatment of service-related injuries with private insurance.
But the proposal would be “dead on arrival” if it’s sent to Congress, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, said.
Murray used that blunt terminology when she told Shinseki that the idea would not be acceptable and would be rejected if formally proposed. Her remarks came during a hearing before the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs about the 2010 budget.
No official proposal to create such a program has been announced publicly, but veterans groups wrote a pre-emptive letter last week to President Obama voicing their opposition to the idea after hearing the plan was under consideration.
Where does one come up with the sheer cretinism necessary to pull such an idea out of the intellectual sewer? Well, it helps if you’re a member of a liberal, Democrat Administration ’cause in such an Administration there will be a dearth of people who can spot utter stupidity. I mean, think about it – we’re spending trillions on all sorts of things including a good deal of entirely useless nonsense…and someone wants to cut a little cost on the backs of wounded American heroes?
“Dead on arrival” doesn’t really cover it – Shinseki should apologize and resign.
