This article -- purportedly (by title) about the "Department of Veterans Affairs Act" -- appears to be grossly in violation of the standards for Wikipedia.

It is a rambling essay, frequently off-topic, largely expresssing unattributed subjective political and social opinions -- rather than objective facts carefully documented in the essay with footnotes, citations and links.

In several places, it appears to wander off into cheerleading for veterans, and expressing opinions about the values of political parties -- NOT the function of an online encyclopedia, and NOT ethical conduct for people editing Wikipedia articles.

Further, the essay repeatedly wanders wildly off from the subject of Veterans Affairs to talk about AFDC and child support payments and other issues utterly unrelated (seemingly the product of huge accidental cut-and-paste mistakes from other articles.)

Addtionally, it presents -- in the pretense of reporting objective facts -- unattributed opinionated declarations of political philosophy about the proper nature, functions and organization of government -- which frankly is NOT the purpose of Wikipedia. It is NOT a soapbox for expression of contributors' personal political or social OPINIONS.

Abuse of a public-information site, and one of its information pages for a narrowly defined topic, for advancing wide-ranging personal political opinions, and falsely presenting them as purely objective data, is an abuse of the privilege of editing on Wikipedia.

This article needs to be almost entirely scrapped, trimmed down to the documented esssential technical facts, and the balance replaced with facts-only content, or eliminated. Further the guilty contributor should be caustioned against such further abuse of Wikipedia -- in MY opinion.
