From that document, "The income threshold below which veterans would receive full benefits in 2024 would be set at $125,000. "
Not exactly putting people out on the street. Again, the video and reality are at odds with me.
It is not about putting people on the streets, it is about fairly compensating them for their injury. If you are injured in any other occupation, is there a means test for compensation?
Interesting equation but not factoring in service to country. Dying on a job, you can sue for lifetime wage loss. If the military had that same expectation, the government could never wage another large scale war.
That is a false assumption. The DoD pays a death benefit if you die. Do you believe that all liability should come with a means test? Should insurance companies not have to pay disability settlements if the victim makes over $150K? We asked these veterans to put themselves in harms way, we are obliged to compensate them when they are injured.
