Ping, for a strong rebuttal statement regarding Dubya's military service. Might be useful for one of your compilations.

From the VA blog link:

I am constantly amazed by the individuals who run their mouths on web sites and know not of what they speak. A case in point is those of you who constantly state that Bush is cutting the VA Budget for Veterans. Your source? John Kerry! Please let me share with you the facts.

1990 Census: 27,619,205 Veterans still alive.
2000 Census: 26,549,704 Veterans still alive.

A reduction of 1,069,501 live veterans

Veterans Administration Budget Under George Bush: (Source-US Office of Management & Budget)

2000: 47,087,000
2001: 45,050,000* *Budget submitted by W Clinton
2002: 50,880,000
2003: 56,946,000
2004: 61,889,000

Therefore will John Kerry please quit lying on the campaign trail about President Bush cutting the VA budget. Thank you.
