Its time for another meeting of the Veterans Disability Benefits Commission -commonly known as the "Commission from Hell" The issue up for discussion this time around is lump-sum buyouts of VA disability payments.The Reason? Save the VA money screw the vet! Currently,many replugs support this idea. Most notable Rep.Steve Buyer Hastert's hand picked Chairman of the Veterans Committee. Again they will spin this as good for the veteran not telling him if he takes the buyout his health care is gone. First I ask this is the buyouts manatory or optional? This will become a very slippery slope for veterans. My feelings here is Bush and Nicholson are trying to make the VA a thing of the pass.
