So now President Bush has decided in his budget to cut the Veterans Administration allocation by 10 percent next year and another 10 percent the following year. After that he is going to freeze any further cuts or advances in the VA’s budget. This as thousands of veterans are returning home after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan with physical and mental wounds needing care which the VA is trying to cope with under duress.

He added in his explanation that it is important to keep his tax relief for the rich so he can keep the economy humming. My response to him is “look inward.” He is responsible for all these men and women coming home disabled and he has the gall to cut funding for the VA which has to work to stitch up the wounded men and women who went out and did his dirty work for him without question.

Well I question Bush and it is my opinion that his flawed imperialism will kill many more of our men and women and I question if any politicians have the guts to call a halt to this insane and irrational slaughter trying to spread our way of life on others.
