Tea party hero Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) this week proposed a blueprint to eliminate $400 billion from the federal budget, which included billions in cuts to veterans' health care and disability benefits.
Her plan would freeze health care funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and slash $4.5 billion in disability benefits to military veterans.
Bachmann posted the document on her official Web site, calling the spending cuts "real and necessary" to avoid increasing the debt ceiling above $14.3 trillion. She supports the United States wars in Iraq and Afghanistan???
It's official: this woman can now be characterized as absolutely barking mad.
In fact, I would suggest, in the spirit of that biting satire "A Modest Proposal", that she propose that all of our injured Vets be immediately euthanized after their, injuries to save money.
To declare one's undying support for these immoral and illegal wars without end, and not declare that the Vets who have fought in these wars important enough to care for when they become injured, AND wanting to raise the deficit to pay for them absolutely boggles the mind......
