They should start with the U.S. military.

There is SO much of it in there untouched. President Obama would like to whittle away at least some of it, but the right wing (so-called) "Conservative" Republicans won't even admit it exists. Much less do anything at all about it.

I agree the military and all of the government entities are mismanaged. A lot of funds could be trimmed. Theft is on the left, right and center.

I know a guy who is a 100% disabled Vet. He has read through the entire Republican Budget plan that Ryan came up with and Republicans voted to accept and then had to go back and read the entire 100 pages again.

Nowhere in it did he find the word 'Veterans'.

A few weeks ago I was looking at some awards he had received and one of them was 'signed' by President Obama. I thought that was interesting, that the award was of that level, and he dismissed it with, "He's not my President."

So, after telling him he was an idiot, asked him to show me how great he would be treated under the Republicans. And he set out to do just that.

He is now a firm 'Independent' since he sees that the Republicans would put through a budget that would chop him out totally.

Yup, the more one knows about the Romney/Ryan ticket, the more one starts to wonder 'what was I thinking'?

Too bad a 100% disabled veteran didn't associate with people who are intelligent and truthful, and actually capable of thinking, it's a real shame.

http://budget.house.gov/uploadedfiles/pathtoprosperity2013.pdf

The 100 page document is the House Budget Committee - Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Resolution titled the The Path to Prosperity:A Blueprint for American Renewal. It is not the "budget" which consists of many many hundreds of pages of specific appropriations, but a position paper describing the broader Republican budget positions and contrasting those with the Administration’s broader budget positions. Nor is it a plan that will mention every single aspect of budget prioritization in detail. But that might not be understandable to some people.

It is indisputable fact that as part of the overall actual budget passed by the Republicans in the US House of Representatives it has included the specific appropriations for the Department of Veterans Affairs in H.R. 5854

Bill Summary & Status - 112th Congress (2011 - 2012) - H.R.5854 - THOMAS (Library of Congress)

"Fiscal Year 2013 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations
On May 31, 2012, the House passed H.R.5854, the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2013, by a vote of 407-12. I voted in favor of this bill. H.R. 5854 authorizes $71.7 billion in non-emergency, discretionary budget authority for Military Construction and Veterans Affairs in FY 2013, which includes $60.7 billion in discretionary funding for Veterans Affairs – $2.3 billion above last year’s levels. The bill also authorizes $54.5 billion in advance FY 2014 appropriations for the Veterans Health Administration for medical services, medical support, and medical facilities. The funding levels fulfill a Congressional commitment to remaining a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars in a time of historically high deficits, without compromising the services provided to our veterans. H.R. 5854 is currently awaiting action in the Senate."

A person of character and conscience might now be compelled to re-engage with that very same 100% disabled vet who has been so brutally mis-informed and retract the "idiot" label he never merited or deserved, particularly when that label was applied by someone who never served in the armed forces.

I have a friend who is a disabled lesbian veteran of color who says Obama sucks. So there, nyahhhhhh!!

Keep the center out of it.

The "center" is the worst offender. Complacent little group.

Most of the worst leaders in the world claimed to be centered.

Who exactly has said they are non-partisan? Given Ryans voting history I would say the CCAGW is blind if not partisan.

You made that up, didn't you?
