It’s not only that. The DOL keeps homeless vets out on the streets as bums because they fail government’s spelling contest: military discharge papers use slashes whereas civil servants expect commas. The DOL needs that to funnel the funds to jobless mortgage debtors, proving they are in bed with the banking industry.
Hmm, another victory coming?

Very expedient. I am sure the research team at Harvard Medical School is in no way connected to Big Pharma.

Carlito, what does big pharma have to do with vets dying in crazy numbers because money stops them from getting health care?
