Historical background: The Chevron doctrine, created in 1984, obliged courts to defer to federal agencies’ explanations of vague statutes.

That decision allowed President Reagan to pen changes to reduce "entitlements" including VA travel benefits.  We no longer get the full benefits we received in 1983 before that decision for any of his changes to "Regulations" from "Code".

Reagan took "discretion" out of the Code and changed it to "cannot" in the regulations.

These so-called patriots will screw a veteran every chance they get.  We have the worst politicians on earth compared to their talk about honoring the vets.  Honor is cheap, but what about cash?

There have been efforts to get money out of politics.  The only way that I can think of is to quit voting for incumbents until they realize the voters and their take on the issues is more important than getting campaign money.  Things need to be done that are not being done because of campaign money.

We are 38th in the world in health care.  Down from 1 in the 1950s.  Resting on our reputation since then.
