How do you get a freeze, and not a cut, out of "One point on my discussion list was a $4.5 billion proposal that would affect payments made to our veterans."? If the effect she referred to wasn't a cut, then what do you think it meant?

Greetings TwelveOfTwenty:

Appropriate the same amount for next FY as this FY, a freeze; less for next FY, a cut. That's the engineer in me, attention to detail matters.

When the Medical Care and College Education Inflation Rates are factored in, Bachmann has no choice but admit a VA spending freeze affects veterans. Deny that fact, Bachmann would have lost favor with me.

All this pales in comparison with what Pres_ _ent 0bama proposed for VA, and why even democRat Senators slam(med) plan for wounded vets to use private insurance.
