Well, I don't know much about this issue -- and I certainly don't want veterans to get the shaft. But, it seems like the White House is constrained by an existing law. I guess some people think laws should be ignored whenever convenient. But Bush feels differently.

Many many vets voted for slick willie in the '92 election because he promised them expanded benefits.
Once again the dems exploited this issue hoping to hurt the republican party.
Nice to know that President Bush has his priorities straight....and by the way everyone in our family is a vet! And none would ever dream of voting democrat.

The point is that 90% of the House and 83 Senators want to CHANGE the law. The law was enacted in 1892, pushed through congress by a Southern Senator who wanted to punish retiring Yankee soldiers.
