And only 30% of 40% of all veterans get that much while fraud is less than 1%. You guys are on to the scheme for sure!

Do you guys have a problem with teachers not paying social security and retiring early through massive state pensions while working jobs in the summer and after they’re retired? All while their education was likely subsidized and they’ve never spent a day outside of a classroom?
I haven’t thought of it too deeply, but I believe I do, yes. But I’d need to look into it a lot more than I have.

Can we talk about these numbers? Is that 30% of 40% of the 16 million vets we have?

You know which numbers these align to almost identically? Blacks on welfare

Approximately 42% to 45% of Black Americans participate in some form of government assistance program

Welfare fraud is statistically very rare, with intentional fraud by beneficiaries accounting for less than 1% to 2% of total payments across major programs

The struggle started when GWOT veterans came home to foreigners occupying jobs and university spots previously held by Americans. We were told we were over there to keep them from getting here. You lied.

I won’t run them down but telling them you get WAY more than the 100 percent benefit keep being mad small folks about 3500 bucks. I won’t tell them about the full ride for UAB for nurse practitioner for my wife. Or how my kids all have free college and everyone has free insurance. Or about the housing allowances allowed to modify your home up to 175k or the caR modifications for 75k.

These are specific to certain needs connected to their disability. You’re not getting a new bathroom just because it’s old and in need of a remodel

I was behind a veteran the other day at the grocery store and his cart was full of steak and lobster and he paid for it all with a boot stamp card

This isn’t true at all. The military used to recruit just fine before everybody got a check. The struggle started in the 2010s around the time the money printer turned on
I thought you were making serious posts for once until I got to this one.

Perhaps you should start a rage thread and I’ll be on your side in that one

because they use the same bullshite metric which is prosecuted cases. it's also the same metric that the democrats use to claim that 2020 was the most secure election in the history of the free world.

Ultimately people respond to whatever incentive is available. I don’t blame them for taking it. I blame the system that enables so much fraud.

If people can work, then they should work. Save the benefits for those with crippling injuries.
