Bachmann backs off cutting veteran’s benefits; still wants to cut Pell Grants and Maternal and Child Health block grants
Looks like Michele has discovered one group not to pick a fight with. After much was said done to stop her from cutting veteran benefits, Michele has come to her Waterloo. Finally seeing the light, she claims to understood what a stupid and immoral position this is during a time of war.
“One point on my discussion list was a $4.5 billion proposal that would affect payments made to our veterans,” Bachmann said in a statement. “That has received a lot of attention and I have decided that it should be removed from consideration. The problem of government spending must be solved, but not on the backs of our nation’s war heroes. I have always been a proud supporter of the United States military and I continue to stand with our veterans. In the months ahead I look forward to working with our Veterans Service Organizations to ensure that we fulfill our commitments to those who sacrificed so much in their brave service for our country.”
And no crazy person. You don’t stand with or for the people who have served or are serving our nation. So please stop making yourself look more foolish then you already are and hush.
Alas catlady still wants large cuts to the Pell Grant program and the Maternal Child Health block grants. Does it ever end?
