They haven't explained how they're going to pay for this war...especially
given that--unlike last time--there aren't a lot of other countries opening
up their checkbooks. ("Coalition" seems to have been redefined as "countries
which are not in active opposition," rather than "countries which are
supplying manpower or funding.") But when you need some money to pay for
war--and you've already promised your rich contributors a huge tax
break--well, you can always squeeze
disabled veterans a little tighter: By a vote along party lines, the
majority members of the House Budget Committee passed and reported for a vote
by the House a budget resolution that would cut $844 million from veteransb
medical care next year and $9.7 billion over the next 10 years. In addition,
the budget resolution would cut $15 billion from the disability compensation
and other benefit programs over the next 10 years. Support the troops,
indeed.
