How 1.4 billion in budget cuts will impact Veterans - VAntage Point

The 2016 House proposal reduces VA medical care by $690 million. What does this mean? As a result of the overall cut to medical services, an estimated 70,000 fewer Veterans will receive the VA care they need.

Come on people. You know this isn't unexpected. It's what Republicans do, who they are.

With more than 12 million private-sector jobs created over the last 60 months, it is clear that the President’s middle class economic agenda is working. But instead of taking the steps we need to strengthen the standing of working families, the House Republican budget for fiscal year (FY) 2016 would return our economy to the same top-down economics that has failed us before. The Republican budget cuts taxes for millionaires and billionaires, while slashing investments in the middle class that we need to grow the economy, like education, job training, and manufacturing. The Republican proposal stands in stark contrast to the President’s FY 2016 Budget, which would bring middle class economics into the 21st Century.
FACT SHEET House Republican Budget Resolution Same Failed Top-Down Economics The White House

 

[Marxist]

Both parties are idiots, but at least one party has actually done something for the poor and working class recently.

 

[whitehall]

You got it bas-ackwards don't you? The president threatens to veto bills that fund expansion of Veteran facilities.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Republicans like soldiers when they get to send them to die overseas far from home. If they come home alive though, they're just 47%ers who want to freeload off of the government.

As per usual, the rest of the story isn't told.

Right from that website.

"What they don’t bother stating here is that the VA is getting a $4.6 billion budget increase (or 5.6 percent) over 2015.

The $1.4 billion cut is simply reducing the increase that was originally proposed. They are still getting more money than before".

[tinydancer]

Now how many times have we witnessed this bullshit from the left?

Remember the VA scandal where they tried to blame Republicans for cuts and then we found out that the freaking VA was not only handing out mega bonuses but they were actually not spending all the money appropriated them in the budgets and they were carrying the surpluses forward.

Hell's bells they never stop lying.

 

[tinydancer]

Shove this up your ass you fucking asswipe liberals. $4.6 BILLION more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"In total, the legislation provides $76.6 billion in discretionary funding – $4.6 billion above the fiscal year 2015 level.

This represents a 5.6 percent increase over the fiscal year 2015 level for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) – including increases for health care, benefit claims processing, the Board of Veterans Appeals, medical and prosthetic research, and information technology.

Of this funding $58.7 billion was provided in the fiscal year 2015 appropriations bill. Military construction is increased by $904 million over the fiscal year 2015 enacted level, which allows for full funding of family housing, construction of hospitals and health facilities, and support for critical overseas investments."

They have been given an increase by billions. The VA wastes millions upon millions of dollars.They need to work within a budget just like the rest of us do.
