Reject House Republicans’ $14.6 Billion Cuts in Veterans’ Benefits — The House-passed resolution cuts direct spending for veterans’ benefits by a total of $14.6 billion over ten years. These cuts are not included in the Senate resolution, or the Democratic budget offered by Mr. Spratt, or even in the President’s budget. The House resolution’s cuts are supposed to be unspecified reductions in veterans’ benefits that root out “waste, fraud, and abuse.” The Disabled American Veterans described the House Republican approach in the following terms: “Has Congress no shame? Is there no honor left in the hallowed halls of our government that you choose to dishonor the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes and rob our programs - health care and disability compensation - to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy?” (March 17, 2003) house.gov
