Trump's Budget Calls For Cuts To VA Benefits As Tradeoff For Extending Choice Program

PO1 Tony Holland thanks for the read/share, this is going to be interesting!

I do not recieve VA disability benefits or retirement benifits, but I cannot fathom ANY benifits cuts for my fellow veterans, nor any reduction in benefits. Benifits have already been earned. Period.

In total, the president’s budget calls for $82.1 billion in discretionary spending for the VA, an increase of about 6 percent from fiscal 2017. Once mandated funding is included, the budget surpasses $186 billion.
