Loathsome. Despicable. Willard is trying to say that the reductions in defense spending proposed by President Obama (actually reductions in growth) are responsible for the high number of service-member suicides. The whole story is here. Excerpt:
"We have huge numbers of our men and women that are returning from conflict, that are seeking counseling, psychological counseling, and can't find that counseling within our system. And, of course, record numbers of suicides. This is a crisis!" Romney said at the American Legion post.
Military suicides do constitute a crisis. President Obama has not been remiss in recognizing this, both in his appointment of Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki and his taking a personal interest in the subject. And then there is the budget. Under Obama, spending for dealing with PTSD and traumatic brain injury as well as mental health services has been increased significantly.
Paul Ryan, on the other hand, has actively sought cuts in veterans' health benefits. The proposed Romney-Ryan budget could cut nearly a fifth of the VA's budget, $11 billion axed. That's not the worst of it. Romney favors privatizing a portion of VA health coverage, replacing it with a voucher system, something even the very conservative Veterans of Foreign Wars oppose. [My emphasis.]
He will say ANYTHING. He has NO moral restraint whatsoever. Before I wanted to defeat Willard.
Now I want to politically destroy him.
Just when I thought Romney reached an all time low he went even lower. There is no depth to his depravity.
