Pentagon Withholding Death Benefits for Fallen Soldiers' Families

WH Says Bill To Pay Military Death Benefits Not Necessary




Government can’t meet its obligations to its service men and women in death so the private sector picks up the tab. According to Jay Carney, that’s perfectly normal.

Via FoxNews:


The White House signaled Thursday that President Obama might not sign a bill to pay death benefits to the families of fallen soldiers, leading a top Republican senator to allege the president has hit a “new low.”

The Senate approved the bill Thursday afternoon, after it cleared the House a day earlier. The bill would reinstate the $100,000 “death gratuity” payments to military families, as well as resume funeral and burial expenses — after funding was suspended as a consequence of the partial government shutdown.

But White House Press Secretary Jay Carney claimed the bill was “not necessary,” noting that charity group The Fisher House Foundation had just entered into an agreement with the Pentagon a day earlier to provide the benefits in the short-term.

“The legislation is not necessary,” Carney said, adding that the Defense Department has already agreed to reimburse the Fisher House.

“It does mean that we don’t need legislation,” Carney said, without explicitly saying Obama would reject the bill.

Wait a second.

We drew a red line!

We were not going to go piece by piece because then only the popular things would be funded...





... at this point, maybe the unpopular things should be shut off completely. :cool:

Every day dawns anew, and fresh controversy rages.

The old "Close Down the Washington Monument" ploy transmuted into "Halt Death Benefits."

The Administration thought it might work, but then Carney had to tell too many obvious fables about when Obama knew.

So that ploy -- toying with the survivors of dead soldiers -- was abandoned and the Administration will seek political advantage elsewhere.

It's a calculated risk when your opponents tend to gin up an outrage-du-jour.

Personally, I'd like to see Social Security and Medicare benefits discontinued, and airports FAA controllers furloughed the next time Republicans shut down the government.

The resulting shitstorm would be the effective end of the Republican party, and no amount of rationalization and excuse-making on your part would prevent it.
 
It is NOT ABOUT THE MONEY

Its about inflicting PAIN

I hope Obama BURIES HIS 2 "KIDS"

Fucking Boehner is such a jerk-off. I'm sick of him stating “What the American people want...” I think that if someone asked the right poll question he would find out that the American people want him to stop crying and man up.

That's supposed to be an insult? But I thought they were valued professionals, dedicated to the service of their fellow men.

The primary job of the bullfighter is to protect a fallen rider from the bull by distracting the bull and providing an alternative target for the bull to attack, whether the rider has been bucked off or has jumped off of the animal. These individuals expose themselves to great danger in order to protect the cowboy. To this end, they wear bright, loose-fitting clothes that are designed to tear away, with protective gear fitted underneath.[1] Rodeo clowns require speed, agility, and the ability to anticipate a bull's next move.[1] Working closely with very large, very powerful animals, rodeo clown are often injured seriously, and, sometimes, fatally.
In some venues, rodeo bullfighters still wear clown makeup and some may also provide traditional clowning entertainment for the crowd between rodeo events, often parodying aspects of cowboy culture. But most modern bullfighters no longer dress as clowns, though they still wear bright, loose-fitting clothing. At larger events in the USA, the job is split, a bullfighter (sometimes two or more) protects the riders from the bull, and a barrelman and clown (sometimes one person, sometimes two) provide comic humor.[2] Some barrelmen provide both comedy and support to bullfighters, but the job of a bullfighter is generally distinct from that of the comic.[3][4]
