**Bush plans to CUT FUNDING for VA health care**

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration plans to cut funding for veterans' health care two years from now - even as badly wounded troops returning from Iraq could overwhelm the system.

Bush is using the cuts, critics say, to help fulfill his pledge to balance the budget by 2012.

After an increase sought for next year, the Bush budget would turn current trends on their head. Even though the cost of providing medical care to veterans has been growing rapidly, White House documents assume consecutive cutbacks in 2009 and 2010 and a freeze thereafter.

4. Way to support the troops.

I find it irritating that everyone I know who has a Support the Troops bumper sticker also votes for anyone who promises lower taxes, no matter what the cost.

"Support The Troops with a magnet? Sure! With my tax dollars? NO WAY!"

8. Males? Nose?

I'm a woman. My aim would be completely different. But, trust me, you would be satisfied with the pain.

I once again put forth my sister's plan: Put them in the stocks and put them on tour. Sell rotten fruit and eggs for five to ten dollars a bag. Retire the national debt. Fund healthcare. Call it the Compassion Reunion Tour.
