I just would like to point out that after some investigation into the
claims made by Mr. Shalom in his "Iraq War Quiz" that it is not actually
W that is trying to take away veterans benefits.  His budget actually
called for a large increase in VA spending.

It was congress that was trying to cut VA spending.  And even then, I
think it may have been a VA spending *increase* that they were cutting,
not actually reducing their funding but reducing the increase in
funding.

But regardless, the Dems succeeded in nixing the cut, so it appears that
the veterans benefits will not be harmed.
