According to the latest DAV and VFW figures

The VAMCs were woefully UNDERFUNDED...before the war....they are are still underfunded...

This article is blowing smoke...and is as inaccurate on the plus side as the
The Rat Presidential Can'o'dirt JF Kerry's version...

But hey..it's an election year...and how do you know a politican is lying?

imo

From VFW MAGAZINE, March, 2004:"VA received a record budget of some $64 billion for the 2004 fiscal year. It is an increase of some $4.2 billion from 2003."

Over $500 million for construction projects. $32.8 billion for benefits and $28.4 billion for health care.

Of course the VA is still a bureaucracy...and therein lies the problem. Was that way for my dad's generation. For mine (ours), and more sadly, for those now returning from WOT. Plenty of funding, just not sure how it is being channeled. Are vets getting most bang for the buck? Doubtful.
