Yet Again, President George Bush Shows His Appreciation to the "Heroes in Uniform": Veteran Health Care Cuts to Pay for His Tax Cuts to Billionaires

What a guy! It's really quite amazing that even just 34% of Americans don't want to kick his ass off the planet.

From the wires:

At least tens of thousands of veterans with non-critical medical issues could suffer delayed or even denied care in coming years to enable President Bush to meet his promise of cutting the deficit in half — if the White House is serious about its proposed budget.

After an increase for next year, the Bush budget would turn current trends on their head. Even though the cost of providing medical care to veterans has been growing by leaps and bounds, White House budget documents assume a cutback in 2008 and further cuts thereafter.

In fact, the proposed cuts are so draconian that it seems to some that the White House is simply making them up to make its long-term deficit figures look better. More realistic numbers, however, would raise doubts as to whether Bush can keep his promise to wrestle the deficit under control by the time he leaves office.

Only in Bush's world would the only sacrifices come from the poor, like those who served risking life and limb at less than minimum wage in fictitious wars Bush won't contribute his own kids to fight.

Enabling is what people have been doing for Bush his entire, privileged life. It's time we say NO to Georgie Porgie.
