VA Conceals Costs Of Disability Claims!

[Gimpy]

sad alright.

What I don't buy into is that if some folks in Congress are 'aware' that the amount proposed by the Bush administration is insufficient or less than is actually needed as this sentence in the above article claims------"Senate Republicans are pushing a bill that would appropriate $26 billion for veterans medical services next year - about 15 percent more than the administration proposed."------- Why are we not as a group (and individually) raising holy hell with Bush and his Cabinet Secretary at the VA???

If "Congressional" Republicans (or Democrats for that matter) can have access to the information that shows the amount "proposed" is inadeqaute, why not the Bush Budget gurus???

I truly believe they are hell bent on trying to reduce government spending even at the terrible expense of underfunding the vital services and benefits offered by the VA.
