I dont understand myself. Trying to.

 

Nevermind the negative video and music. Thats what made me question this the original time  I posted it. Im looking at the figures and asking if they can be substantiated. If so I'd be a bit disappointed.


I'd like to know the truth too. Also I wasn't trying to say you said Bush hates vets I was refering to the ad. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.. I'd be disappointed too, but wouldn't be too dissapointed if it's the way Gunslinger said and that being people that don't need/truly deserve the benefits.

After all the bugdet comes from them not the president. If he signed that bill then there's a chance he felt that if he vetoed it would go back and just be passed anyway.

aahhhhh now I remember.  

Bush raised the VAs budget this year by the biggest ever.  But the estimated costs are bigger than the budget allows for.

Traslation for librals......Bush cut VA benifits.

That's like saying I might get a raise of 10% this year but I only got a raise of 6% so I actually took a 4% paycut.  

I dont understand thier math.

just like rolling back the tax cuts is not actually a tax increase.
