This already existed AND it only pertains to veterans who have been deemed totally and permanently disabled. It is a good thing for the very few who qualify. The process to be deemed totally and permanently disabled is ridiculous.
For example: DH qualifies at 100% with IU (individual unemployability) and has for over a decade. This means he is not allowed to make over a certain amount of money per month. However, he is employable and also permanently disabled. The VA just won't deem him permanently disabled because somehow his TBI, tinitus, PTSD, and lung damage may get better at some point in the future. So he claims IU because the VA gave it to him. They will not give him permanent and total though. It's honestly ass backwards.
It is good that it has been streamlined. I also have very little faith in the VA at this point and doubt the process will get any easier for anyone.

Or you could re-word it and say he hasn’t done any better than any other president.Fullxbusymom wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2019 10:50 pm I don't think he is a terrible President. I have liked many things he has done and disliked many things he has done. He certainly hasn't done any worse then any other President that has ever held office.
His one big accomplishment, a tax cut, was actually a congressional act that temporarily gives people a federal tax cut and permanently gives corporations a 25% tax cut. This accomplished the biggest deficit in history.
He has been unable to create a new health plan as promised nor has he been able to get Mexico to pay for a wall as promised. He caters to the religious right for the sole reason of getting re-elected while ignoring the majority of the country (except to insult it).
History will see him as the worst president or at least in the bottom three and there are way too many reasons to list here.

Well, a survey of scholars already ranked him as the third worst president in history:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pol ... 857075002/
“In its sixth presidential ranking since 1982, 157 scholars surveyed by the institute ranked Trump the third worst president of all time after Andrew Johnson (who was impeached) and James Buchanan (whose presidency was followed by the Civil War).”
In all fairness, it’s still premature. At least let him finish, he may manage to climb one or 2 spots if he truly does something right. Or he may drop to the very bottom, who knows?
