Budget plan cuts veterans’ benefits
More than 10,000 Washington state veterans could face a $1,000-a-year [cost] increase for their medical care under a Bush administration budget proposal, a veterans advocacy group says. And state officials warn that the White House spending plan could force out... residents at... veterans homes... "This is a... budget which reflects this administration’s priority for vets,” said [the] secretary of veterans affairs.
Ah, compassionate conservatism. Remember how much that great inaugural party cost? Better spent on a big party than on armor and protective gear for military personnel. Enjoy those tax cuts. Buy some more magnetic car ribbons.
Update:
VA's poor service is 'dirty little secret,' man says - and that's before the cuts.
