Until the two political parties quit being afraid of extremist in their parties, NO negotiations and NO budgets will be approved. So, sequestration will continue to cause problems, especially for us in the middle trying to survive financially.
Off my box!
Guess maybe I'm an extremist then because like the Tea Party,I think we are spending too much and passing the bill to our kids and grandkids.It seems when the 2 sides do come together,it isn't for us,it's for them to get more votes by spending more money.On Veterans Day,I read the story of an Iraq vet whose tank was hit.He was burned,lost one arm,is paralized from the waist down.His wife left him with 2 kids.His handicapped van broke down and his parents couldn't get him to the VA Hospital 60 miles away.His house wasn't handicapped accessible.A local vet got the DVA to allow doctors to treat him at home and another vet got his high school students to raise money to build him a new house.If we have money for "FREE" birth control and "FREE" cell phones,we should have enough money to help a guy like this.It's time to point this stuff out and shame our reps into putting more money into helping guys like him.Personally,I have never taken adavantage of any of my veterans benefits.But I do hope they will be there if I need them.That's why we have to keep fighting,not for us,but for our fellow vets who really need help.
