Bush Hates Veterans
No More Mr. Nice Blog spikes my outrage meter with a few more facts and figures.
The president's budget will create a $250 annual enrollment fee for 2 million veterans; increase the prescription co-payment from $7 to $15; reduce prosthetic research by $9 million; slash $351 million from veterans' nursing homes by serving 28,000 fewer residents; and eliminate $104 million in state grants. It would do away with 3,000 Department of Veterans Affairs workers while a backlog of more than 700,000 claims exists, according to the Veterans of Foreign Wars.Where's the concern about the sanctity of the lives of those who put theirs on the line for this country?
