This will drive almost 100% of Washington politicians crazy, we need to beak the cycle of expecting elected officials to go to Washington to bring home fluff for their specific districts / states.

This will, no doubt, be the most unpopular department in Washington.

Maybe.....but it should be popular to the people that actually care about money spent and what it's spent on.....I can see it now....

And put 50% of every dollar saved/cut towards care for our veterans.

I would respectfully disagree. Btw, both my parents were United States Marines - my Dad was a lifer... 30 years.

First, we need to address the deficit.

I would say that the administration needs to come up with (and adhere to) a budget for ALL programs while making sure there are ample funds for veteran's programs. I wouldn't just start throwing money at ANY program without a realistic budget. Additionally, as relates to veterans, I would hope for a revamped VA before I just poured money into that cesspool of inefficiency.

Let's get the deficit addressed first which is only going to happen with unpopular and difficult cuts and doing away with frivolous uncontrolled spending. I'm not saying to kick veterans to the curb. I'm saying that we need to get our house in order before we keep spending additional monies that we don't really have.

I am with you on that. That is why I say 50% and not every dollar.

I believe there is enough savings that we can do both. Total revamp of VA

This country has been throwing money around like Phil Mickelson and John Daly in the high roller room at Bellagio.

    • I know math and geography is hard for the UIL.  Move District 10 to District 6. Longest travel for 1st round possible is 174 miles Move District 6 to District 8. Longest travel for 1st round possible is 206 miles Move District 8 to District 10. Longest travel for 1st round possible is 101 miles.  Instead we get as it is now District 7 and 8 with 292 miles District 10 with 233 miles It is very obvious they cater to the Dallas area teams.

    • They don't win on a consistent basis. In the 6A district West Brook just got out of, the middle schools had better weight rooms! Every team also had turf practice fields, which are a helluva better to practice on when it rains. Also, teams that have indoor facilities have a major advantage. When it rains, they can have a regular practice. They don' have to use a gym, where you have a quarter of the space and you can't hit. Yeah, facilities matter!
    • I completely get what you are saying. The chance to participate in successful programs is an important part of our kids life lessons. The thing is, for me anyway, is in the not too distant future, for the vast majority of kids, the game ends for them. A quality education will stay with them for a lifetime and will allow them to choose a variety of career paths. I hate seeing the guys who were big time studs and played at very high levels, late in life who have no path to take because of a lack of a good basic education. I know my town has these guys, I bet most of us know guys who fall in to this category in some way.
