No they are cutting back on the med's
Generic only most of the time and what they are doing now is when you send a scrip in you get a letter back giving you names or the drugs that you can buy off the shelfs in drug stores. I'm a disabled vet and what I can't get form the veterans I buy, and also get some from Canada/

It amazes me, how many people believe the lies of the left that Bush is cutting programs.
Bush has increased VA funding more than any president in history.
From 47 billion in 2001 to 88 billion last year.
According to the VA, the number of community health clinics has increased 40% during Bush's first three years alone.

Probably because he wants to continue funding his oil war in Iraq and veterans have very little power to fight him. Its basically like taking candy from a baby.
Whats sad is that the public cares not for veterans much either.

The President has no control over funding, lamos the Congress is the one holding the purse strings. Talk to Pelosi.

Because he doesn't have a clue about what is going on with the vets.It seems he also really doesn't care about any of the citizens of the USA.The vets should be high on the list for benifits but it looks like they are on their own in this country. It makes you wonder why they even give their lives for this place.

There have been no cuts. He did offer more money to programs that help place Vets in jobs when they are done serving. Please site your facts as to what has been cut. I watch things pretty closley and nothing has been cut in the last year.

He is cutting back on many things. I thought those were raised, though. I'll have to look into it.

The very day we invaded Iraq the then republican controlled congress voted to reduce benefits.

Because he's an ******. I am surprised that you didn't know.
BUT
We live in Illinois...one of the worst states for veterans. It's been like that for some time. Bush didn't have anything to do with it.
