Ignore the other post. Gotta do some more research on the disabled veterans part.
From what little I've read, it seems the opposition to the veterans disability increase has to do more with double-dipping and budget limitations than the administration being heartless.
A good friend and former next door neighbor is a disabled veteran. He never served in combat - he had MS and is completely disabled. In fact, the VA rates him as 200% disabled (how does that work - sounds like disability inflation to me). He gets $8000 a month tax free plus the VA helped him remodel his home to make it more accessible and buy a van equipped with a lift for his wheelchair. Not that I would trade places with him for a second, but it hardly sounds like he's being neglected or mistreated. I wonder how representative his case is among veterans.
