Bachmann plan would cut veterans benefits

Tea party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., has unveiled a plan for cutting $400 billion in federal spending that includes freezing Veterans Affairs Department health care spending and cutting veterans’ disability benefits.

Her proposed VA budget cuts would account for $4.5 billion of the savings included in the plan, posted on her official House of Representatives website.

Paul Sullivan, executive director of Veterans for Common Sense, said cutting veterans’ health care spending is an ill-advised move at a time when the number of veterans continues to grow as troops return from Iraq and Afghanistan. Sullivan said he finds it difficult to see how VA could freeze health care costs without hurting veterans.

“It is really astonishing to see this,” he said.

In a statement, Bachmann said her plan is intended for discussion purposes as an example of ways to cut federal spending to make it unnecessary to increase the current $14.3 trillion limit on the amount the U.S. government can borrow.

Can't seem to find it right now.  But i read an article where an accountant broke down why a majority of people pay so little in taxes.  It has to to with child tax credits and family tax credits.  If i can find it i'll post it up.  But make no mistake it's not because people are not working at those lower levels, just that the system has allowed them to pay so little in taxes.

AGREED.,

Also agreed with his point about the top 1% tax cuts.  They didn't do shit but make the rich, richer - and they were just as despicable as the bottom 10% living on welfare while smoking pot and making 5 babies.

Since most of us fall in the middle of these two groups, we should issue a big middle finger to ANY politician who wanted to give the top 1% some break and the bottom 10% who won't get off their asses and work.  You slash both of these groups and the economy turns around tomorrow.

First, the tax RATES were extended FOR EVERYONE.

Second, nobody got their rates reduced. They're the same as they've been for nearly ten years.

So she dosent advise cutting benefits for vets

[Soul Crusher]

We need to cut across the board all the same.  No one spared and I would go so far are to cut nea, dea, atf, dhs, doe, epa, etc just to start.

And, that's the problem. The Dems are forever hacking at things, like our military, but want to inflate their entitlement programs to the moon. If you try and cut any of them, they start wailing about people trying to kill old people and have folks starve.

The only fair way is across the board.  No winners or losers, just across the board. 

Amazing dems always scream about shared sacrifice but any time its tried they scream like babies. 
Additionally, every time they pass crap like obamacarte, notice how they are the first ones always trying to get waivers and cut outs for themselves first?

HILARIOUS

I don't believe in cutting benefits to veterans.  If we can not afford to pay for our former soldiers then we shouldn't be paying anything forward for the current or future soldiers.  Until there comes a time when we can look after our veterans stop spending money on other military endeavors.

what are they currently getting, what will they get after the bachmann cuts? 

personally, I do favor cutting things like "aid to egypt and pakistan" before cutting the $400 a month our veterans get for losing a limb fighting for our country.
