Now that you mention it, it does seem like veteran's programs were just about the only case where Bush favored cuts to Federal spending. Everything else was even more of a free for all than under Clinton. In other words, free healthcare and bilingual "education" for illegals: Si, healthcare and education for those who served in his wars: No.
There’s a reason veterans support Trump in South Carolina and I just layed out a few of them.
Jebbie thought that having W. campaign for him in SC would be his ace in the hole. It didn't really work out that way, did it?
“Bush was a disaster of a president, from his boneheaded war to his never vetoing speeding bills, to his slashing programs for veterans.”
So true, I tried to tell some people this a couple days ago...they did not like it. Everyone forgets the MESS at our forts and hospitals our kids came home to while Bush was in charge...but we had state of the art Immigration detention centers!

Apparently, GWB didn’t help at all but hurt: I wouldn’t watch. I no longer watch anything Bush.
