You are spouting horsecrap. of course it is unacceptable, it ALWAYS has been, but then again, I don't see anywhere where you were hollering about it prior to your BDS condition, right?
This president has always said he stood for the troops
and he does, so you are saying that all the other democrap presidents did NOT stand for the troops,, so it was ok for them to neglect the VA, right?
Fact Sheet: Honoring Our Commitment to America's Veterans
President Bush Is Committed to Our Nation's Veterans, and has proposed unprecedented levels of funding for veterans. His Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 budget represents an increase in overall funding for our Nation's veterans by almost $20 billion -- or 40 percent -- since 2001. The President has increased funding for our veterans more in four years than funding was increased in the previous eight years. The FY 2005 budget includes a 41 percent funding increase in veterans' medical care spending alone since FY 2001.
The President also supports tomorrow's veterans and their families. In 2003, President Bush requested $87 billion in supplemental funding from Congress to help ensure that the American military fighting the War on Terror has the resources, including body armor and other vital equipment, to accomplish their mission. Since 2001, the President's budgets have provided an increase in basic pay for men and women in uniform by almost 21 percent, improved military housing for families living on base, and reduced to zero the average housing expenses for military families living off base. </b >
