It also mentions your observations later in the article.
Also, Bush is at the helm, it is his watch.
In as much as some of you doubt what is being said in the first sentence there are as many who believe that BUSH will VETO this bill because of the authorization to fund Concurrent Receipt for Retired Disabled Vets.
I voted for BUSH, I've met him and talked to him, he's a nice guy, but for the life of me I haven't seen one initiative from him or his administration for Veterans much less Retired Disabled Veterans. If you know of one please let me know what it is.
As far as pointing out what he's done for AIDS, poor Housing, illegal aliens,foriegn aid and the PLO it is a matter of public record.
American Veterans are the Forgotten Patrol of the Bush Administration.
I urge you to research this website to learn more about this subject USDR.Org

People would take you more seriously if you did not accuse Bush directly when the article makes clear it was the WH Budget Office that made the statement. Your time would be better spent urging other Freepers to contact President Bush asking him not to veto this. Here is a link to a contact list at the White House to get you started.

You need to change the title to something like "WH Budget Office Advises Bush to Veto Pay for Disabled Vets" and put it up as an action alert. Good luck.
This is a hot button issue for me. I've been fighting this fight for almost nine years.
More times than not I've gotten nothing but the run around from the Whitehouse and Congress.
