Shameful the way veterans are treated

The more I see and read about our veterans, the more I wonder where are the brains in Washington, D.C.?

Veterans are being neglected and are seeking help for illnesses they have while defending our country. They are without arms, legs and many are blind.

The VA Administra­tion is doing nothing to help these men and yet we can send money to all of these foreign countries with a clean conscience. Many of our brave men and women are committing suicide. Their pen- sions are meager and when the government cuts their pay, it is because they feel these other countries are vastly in need of our help.

I am so proud to be an American, but I am not proud of how our country is treating our veterans.

I applaud them and respect them as they have gone beyond the call of duty.

Scott’s budget actions extremely hypocritic­al

While our state House and Senate are in a stalemate over this year’s budget due to an impasse in regard to health care coverage for the poor, Gov. Rick Scott, who pleaded the Fifth Amendment dozens of times on charges of medicare fraud, now finds himself threatenin­g hospitals and doctors to open up their books as it pertains to their profits.

He is accusing them of putting their profits over the welfare of our poor. Talk about calling the kettle black!

Ronald Calvano, of Sunrise, stated in his recent letter “that President Obama didn’t mention police officers that were injured” is an outright lie. He mentioned it again at his press conference, even calling some in the community “thugs” who committed crimes.

It is obvious Mr. Calvano has his bias against the president no matter what he said.

How does anyone know how child will turn out?

I get a glimpse into the subconscio­us when I see a redundant proabortio­n letter like the one posted last week. The argument always goes back to, “Who is going to pay for this unwanted baby’s support?”

Is it always about money? How could anyone know a developing child in the womb will turn out to be a drain on public funds, or a neglected criminal child and not a gift to society?

I think the real hidden agenda is racism in the true vision of Margret Sanger to keep the poor and minorities in check by abortion. How else would you explain such a reasoning?
