CommieGIR posted:But is she really wrong? You mean the same Pentagon that basically under an immense audit for squandering funds? Like $21 Trillion in funds? It wasn't $21 trillion in misspent funds, it was $21 trillion in crap bookkeeping. In an overly simplistic example, if your 5.56 budget ends up running out too early but you have plenty in the 7.62 budget, moving $1 million from the 7.62 budget to the 5.56 budget creates a $2 million discrepancy.

I can't help but feel that this whole Pentagon thing was an elaborate gotcha. How many misleading headlines did we see about this making it sound like the Pentagon had blown $21 trillion on video games and bubble gum? Then someone prominent runs with it and suddenly they're tripping over themselves to correct the misconceptions they created.

As Nero Danced posted:I'm a bit slow on the uptake, remember the other day he said he was pulling disaster response funds from California because it was "mismanaged"? At first I thought he was just blathering about the dumdum meanie heads on the other coast, I think he might be putting this plan in place already. Those were FEMA funds he threatened to pull, which aren't the same.

That Works posted:Hey yo I have followed your story a bit and will call my congressman, could you give me like 1-2 sentences to say about the bill and why my dude should support it? Just wanted a clear statement to give when I call. There are two benefits for surviving spouses of deceased military members: Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, through the VA, is paid the the surviving spouse of a veteran who dies of a service-connected condition or an active duty service member who dies in the line of duty. As the name suggests the payment is made in exchange for holding the government harmless in the case of the death of the veteran or service member. The other is the DoD's Survivor Benefit Plan which is a plan a retiree pays into in order to provide his surviving spouse continuing benefits following the retiree's death (and is also granted when an active duty service member dies in the line of duty). The two benefits are intended to pay out for completely different reasons, yet every dollar of DIC received is deducted from SBP payments. That's more than 1-2 sentences, though, so the short version is "Congress promised to eliminate this offset 10 loving years ago but never did."

I'll write my Congresswoman and my one cool Senator (gently caress that moron Ron Johnson). https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/553 The text of the bill isn't up yet, but this is the same bill that Joe Wilson has submitted to the House every new congress since the 112th in 2011. The Senate bill hasn't been submitted. The senator who kept submitting the Senate counterpart lost his seat in the midterms.

I had to refute this bullshit the other day because apparently this is a thing people believe: The court case cited in this loving pixelbox only ever brought up the legal status of the parents of someone born in the US within the context of "they're not diplomats of a foreign government." Yet somehow this has been twisted into "gotta be here legally, gently caress you."
