Which documents rapidly increasing spending per veteran. Your "cut" notwithstanding.

The Washington Post found a disgruntled leaker who was asked to provide an idea of how to make large cuts. Welcome to the world of budgeting. Every good budget effort everywhere requires departments to look at what they would cut. Sometimes the cuts are implemented, sometimes not.

Leaking budget process documents is not a proposed public policy or an implemented budget cut.

You stated: "the administration's proposed budget cuts for veterans", and now you cite a leaker, not a proposal.

Clean up your language, or quit lying (your choice).

So far, Mr. Perlstein has been unable to support his contention that the Bush Administration has "proposed budget cuts for veterans," (see post), which leaves Mr. Perstein either a liar or incompetent.

Hang loose!
