A homily to share: Many moons ago, in my kidhood, I utilized the GI bill, one of the few win-win bills this government has ever devised. I opted for a bachelors degree. On qualifying for that degree I decided to go on to law school. The VA, in its bureaucratic wisdom, never changes, said, effectively, get lost. You have achieved what you asked for now go away. I brought the problem to the Catholic War Veterans, which was great back then. I'll never forget the little Italian guy handling my case who said: "we'll beat this". He sent me to my Congressman who had an office off Edward L. Grant Hwy in the gorgeous, flowering, paradisiacal borough of the Bronx. His name was Hugh Carey, a gruff but caring Irishman. He said I'll look into it. Lo and behold, a few months later a letter from the VA arrives telling me I can go to law school on the VA.

Fast forward to the present. I have many problems with the VA. Who doesn't? My current Congressman Gosar of the Az 4th never even paid attention to my requests for help. All he ever did was resend my complaint to the local VA. He got back from them what I get back from him. ZILCH. We must stop sending hacks like Gosar to Congress. They do nothing for us but follow the party line. I, a registered Republican have been voting the other party. They are no better but what other way of protesting do we have.
