Bill H.R. 1863

To amend title 38, United States Code, to ensure that veterans in each of the 48 contiguous States are able to receive services in at least one full-service Department of Veterans Affairs medical center in the State or receive comparable services provided by contract in the State, and for other purposes.

If the intent of this bill is to help our veterans than maybe they need to rethink this.  One facility in Texas isn’t going to do much good if it’s 600 miles away.  Perhaps they should rethink!

Harry Reid: Give extra $250 to Social Security recipients

So do you think this maybe has something to do with his re-election?

When Congress reconvenes after the election, lawmakers will vote on a measure to give an extra $250 to Social Security recipients, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid promised Monday.

Democrats are billing the measure as a necessary helping hand for seniors in a year when they won’t be seeing any incremental increase in their benefit checks, as usually happens from year to year.
