  3. @ hey. Just as a point of clarification … the military affords you the space at a National Cemetery free and the service is free. However the cost of the casket or urn or whatever floats your boat is on you. That’s where people can run themselves up into the thousands. If you don’t want to be buried at a national Cemetery then much of the costs are going to be on you. They will go to your preferred location and provide the service free if you like. My recommendation is that for anyone particularly those who don’t have insurance or a lot of savings get buried at the National cemetery, skip the stupid frills — you’re dead and money could be better spent for the living than the stuff associated with a burial. As a bonus the same free accommodation is allowed for your spouse (you need your DD214 and marriage certificate). My mother passed away first so she was buried at the National Cemetery and when my father passed away 7 years later he joined her at the same spot. My other recommendation to you is to figure it out now while you are functioning on common sense and not on emotion. Funerals are a business and they are there to make as much money as they can … take care of your business when you aren’t weak at lacking common sense. While I was fortunate enough not to have to worry about costs, the primary reason I did was my belief that being dead shouldn’t cost much but more importantly that the military will always take care of and honor their dead (at least with the exception of this one, all administrations have honored veteran sacrifices). I’ve seen several cemetery’s go into disrepair as they begin to age and the upkeep isn’t as good. I didn’t want that on my conscience and I’ve never seen a National Cemetery that isn’t cared for.

  7. So then you tag all federal workers as such, that justifies aimlessly and randomly firing hundreds of thousands of people? That’s just plain hatred, jealousy and ignorance. I have a number of friends who work at a couple different VA facilities, I have two facilities near where I live. I know no one who doesn’t put in more than their 40 hour week to try and meet the need. When you work in services that meet the needs of people, most people put in way more time than they are compensated for because they aren’t motivated by the money and we are usually short staffed for all the needs that must be met. People who believe that mess by the current administration are drinking up the schit they are being fed by the elite. Im a mid level manager working with abused children and adults… not only would I make more if went outside of govt I probably would not often have to work 60 hour weeks but only get paid for 40. It’s the nature of the job, when there’s an emergency you deal with it, you don’t close shop and go home. Do I occasionally take a 90 minute lunch … you bet I do because on most days I choke down my lunch at my desk in 10 minutes, when I’m in the field seeing people, I might not eat lunch at all. Are there slackers? There’s slackers everywhere in all segments of employment, private or govt. Their managers need to deal with that, not a couple of guys that are hugely removed from that working segment. People need to clue in that no matter how many 400 year olds you think are getting SS checks or the ‘millions and millions’ of govt workers who are slackers…. Whatever you feel they are stealing out of your personal pocket taking a 2 hour lunch comes to pennies from what the top <1% are stealing from you.
