More “not balancing the budget on the backs of veterans”. ABC, WJLA 7 in DC<\/a> reports that among the furloughed DoD personnel will be caregivers at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD.

Hospital officials have confirmed that some employees have already received notice that they’ll be furloughed without pay for 11 days – one day a week for the next 11 weeks.<\/p>\n

I’m all out of outrage.<\/p>\n
