3. Yep, outright CONTEMPT for our veterans. The cons will admit when nobody is around

they think most veterans get too many benefits and they abuse those benefits.

Translation, as long as you are willing to die for filth like Rush Limbaugh or Donald Trump so they dont have to leave the comfort of their stolen surroundings, fine, but the minute you have PTSD or anything else, they tell you to FUCK OFF!

It's theft.

Why not steal from veterans? He/they will steal from everyone else.

More for them, less for you.

6. Of course, there's a lot of money there. They want to siphon off "their share".

Privatization has as it's real goal a way to siphon off an unending stream of money. It's a lot cheaper to lobby for this and get the financial stream forever than it is to run a truly competitive business.

Privatization is theft from the American taxpayer.

or refuse Medicare or VA care (he has used both at different times). He's literally been LIVING on "socialism" for 20 years. He just abhors it for anyone ELSE. Insists HE needs it.
