Bush Budget Will Raise Prescription Prices for Veterans

In regards to the upcoming budget cuts, Vice President Dick Cheney said today, "We are being tight." Tight Dick? Can you define that for us and explain how “being tight” is not “turning our backs on the most needy people in our society."

Because from where I sit, from what I have read, “the most needy people in our society” are getting screwed, once again by the Bush Administration. As I said here last night, in reference to the budget cuts, the little people are under the big boot of the government.

Here’s my latest example of the Big Boot from the N.Y. Times

President Bush's budget would more than double the co-payment charged to many veterans for prescription drugs and would require some to pay a new fee of $250 a year for the privilege of using government health care, administration officials said Sunday.

Over all, the president is seeking $70.8 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, say Congressional aides who have seen budget documents from the agency.
