Survey Says: DemCong = EPIC FAIL

We hear a lot about Bush's historic lows and the hatred of the GOP, but this poll at the Christian Science Monitor (I know - it's just a poll) is a larf.

The Presidency, despite the drag and lag of the Bush years, is still more trusted than Congress, TV news, and newspapers. That's gotta have some lefties scratching their heads.

And of course, our brave brothers and sisters in arms retain their rightful position at the top of the list.

What a pathetic, horrid joke the Democrat-controlled Congress has been and continues to be. May it choke on its own stupidity.

Bet the numbers were much the same when it was Republicans controling it.

They all suck.

your "Democratic Controlled Congress".


I am typing the following message exactly how it is printed in the Army Echoes, a bulletin magazine for retired personnel. You may or may not know about this but if not, it would be to your benefit to look into it thoroughly. Here's the statement:


###START###


CONGRESS EXPANDS CRSC (Combat-Related Special Compensation) ELIGIBILITY


Congress has extended eligibility for Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) to include any military retirees with combat-related disabilities whose retired pay is reduced by their VA disability compensation, even if they served fewer than 20 years. The FY08 National Defense Authorization Act added retirees who served fewer than 20 years, retired, and have combat-related disabilities to those eligible for CRSC.

This law change went into effect Jan. 1, 2008. To apply for CRSC, retirees must still provide documentation that shows a causal link between a current VA disability and a combat-related event.

The program has a new updated claim form DD2860 dated April 2008. All previous editions are obsolete. The new claim form, specific eligibility requirements and CRSC help tools can be found at http://www.crsc.army.mil. You can also contact CRSC at 1-866-281-3254.

You can thank a "Democratic Controlled Congress" for this benefit improvement!
