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.

WTF?! Looks like that talk about her getting on the Romney bandwagon has some meat to it!! IIRC, no Romney has ever served in uniform since they came here, so what are veteran's benefits to them but a liability? Now taxes on trust funds, hedge funds and stock sales is another matter....
