Trump tried to fuck over disabled veterans but failed
Quote:Although President Donald Trump's proposed budget plan for the 2018 fiscal year would increase spending across the Department of Veterans Affairs, the proposal would also slash individual unemployment benefits for disabled veterans by more than $40.8 billion over 10 years.
The cuts could mean a reduction of as much as $22,000 per year for some eligible veterans, advocates say.
Individual unemployment benefits are paid to veterans who are disabled as a result of military service and can't work.
When veterans advocates saw the proposal, they responded. In the last week alone, 30,000 emails and letters have flooded Congress, according to Fuentes.
"This proposal is dead on arrival," Fuentes said. "They understand the strong opposition to it and don't intend to move forward with it."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
