BUSH'S VETERANS' HEALTHCARE BUDGET A RECIPE FOR DISASTER Republicans brag of the increase in the VA healthcare budget, but a close look at the numbers shows a budget that is not even keeping up with inflation much less taking into account the large number of troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with severe medical problems.

KEEPING THE UNIFORMED UNINFORMED Is a good military well-armed AND well-informed? It appears not. With American Forces Radio now a playground for conservative political commentary, the debut of the Ed Schultz Show would have brought some balance. Not now.

DID THE VA REALLY ELIMINATE THOSE LONG WAITING LISTS FOR VETERANS' HEALTHCARE? NO! To hide a politically-dangerous situation, Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) officials moved veterans' healthcare waiting lists from outside the system to inside. The VA is playing a deadly game. Veterans still wait months or years for necessary healthcare.

VETERANS' DAY OR ANOTHER MEMORIAL DAY? Every November 11th our politicians fall victim to unkept-promises amnesia, dutifully ignore the needs of living veterans and head to the cemeteries. Why? Because it's easier to praise the dead than it is to care for the living.

WHO PAYS FOR THE VA'S DATA DEBACLE? The VA plans to pay with funds raided from veterans' healthcare and benefits programs. The VA has not asked for any additional funding and Republican lawmakers aren't offering any. But, legislation has been forwarded by Senators Murray & Byrd to give the VA an additional $160 million. Can it get past a belligerent majority who wants the VA to pay out-of-pocket - and veterans to pay through lost healthcare and benefits?

VETERANS KNOW: IT'S BUYER! BEWARE! Rep. Steve Buyer's war on veterans continued last week. He changed the dates of VA budget testimony to protect the White House from embarrassing criticism. And, he refused to praise the VA's decision to stop the review of 72,000 PTSD claims. America's military veteran community is furious.
