Republicans screw veterans over yet again

Apparently, asking to roll back one fifth of one percent of the capital gains tax to provide more funding for the V.A. was too much to ask these filth.

Okay, Bush apologists, I can't wait to hear you spin this one

I quote the wise and holy Orcinus: "I guess it only makes sense, in that Bushworld kinda way, that when the government starts building mass detention centers that Halliburton would get the contract: A Houston-based construction firm with ties to the White House has been awarded an open-ended contract to build immigration detention centers that could total $385 million, a move some critics called questionable.

The contract calls for KBR, a subsidiary of oil engineering and construction giant Halliburton, to build temporary detention facilities in the event of an "immigration emergency," according to U.S. officials."

I mean, can we stop bullshitting and just call this for the rank cronyism and outright corruption it is? Even if you can't manage, look me square in the eye and justify building mass detention centers.
