Well Russ, the facts have been checked, checked many times. The VA budget under Bush went up every year he was in office, from 48 billion to 99 billion.

Just to break it down for you, here is the list of yearly increases:

2001 Bush increased the budget 8.58%

2002 Bush increased the budget 9.92%

2003 Bush increased the budget 11.54%

2004 Bush increased the budget 6.95%

2005 Bush increased the budget 8.79%

2006 Bush increased the budget 6.19%

2007 Bush increased the budget 11.22%

2008 Bush increased the budget 10.37%

2009 Bush increased the budget 9.85%

Thats an average annual increase of 10.426%.

To contrast, Bummer did increase the VA budget, but the increases are below.

2010 Bummer increased the budget 13.32% <Which was really Bush's budget, only signed by Bummer.

2011 Bummer increased the budget 10.37%

2012 Bummer increased the budget 0.74%

No further data available, but wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Veterans_Affairs) says 2014's budget will be up over 2013's budget 4.3%. I did NOT add that percentage in with the below average because it is not part of a more detailed and creadable source.

Thats an average annual increase of 8.143%

As you can see, Bummer has been slashing the VA's budget at an unbelievable rate. Really, it should come as no shock that our vets are dying while they wait for care. In fact, under Bummers watch, its a surprise that we havent lost more vets.

But the real question is, Russ in MN, why would you lie about facts and figures that are so easy to look up? Why would you lie about that? Just a few clicks on google and I found the real information.

https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RS22897.pdf

And just in case anybody has a problem with my source of information, it came from the Congressional Research Service. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Research_Service

Feel free to double check my math, I did go to a public school after all.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
