Saturday Data- Vet$

     Just in time for Veterans Day on the 11th, a report about 60,000 Veterans receiving triple benefits...military retirement pay, VA disability benefits, and disability checks from Social Security.

The report came at the request of  Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. A veteran's group leader calls it a parting shot at the men and women who fought for the country.

In most cases, veterans who receive multiple benefits are severely disabled.

Coburns's own record of military service, especially when there was an active military draft?? None.

Coburn graduated with a B.S. in accounting from Oklahoma State University, where he was also a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. In 1968, he married Carolyn Denton, the 1967 Miss Oklahoma. (Wikipedia entry)

Go pick on someone your own size, Senator.
