U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge on Monday denounced those members of the House who voted last week to pass the federal budget.
Etheridge, D-2nd District, criticized passage of the budget because it eliminates $28 billion in funding for veterans' benefits over the next 10 years.
The cuts could mean burial benefits for veterans are discontinued or that the cost-of-living adjustment for disability benefits are delayed, Etheridge said, but 96 percent of discretionary spending is applied to health care, meaning that some cuts likely would come from that area.

But according to Etheridge, the proposed bill (HR 919 in the House of Representatives and S 459 in the Senate) will cause minimal impact on the federal budget.

Rep. Bob Etheridge reads four articles and a cartoon by John Youmans, a disabled retired veteran, who, along with hundreds of thousands other disabled vets, is advocating passage of H.R.303, The Retired Pay Restoration Act of 2003.
Rep. Etheridge cosponsored H.R.303 to repeal this unjust law and permit disabled retired veterans to receive both their full retirement pay for serving 20 or more years in the military and full VA compensation for injuries or illnesses during that service, two distinct issues.
Unlike Rep. Etheridge being thanked by veterans for his support, Republican representatives who are home on vacation are now being attacked by veterans knocking on their door, sending e-mail and making phone calls demanding to know why they cosponsored The Retired Pay Restoration Act of 2003 but refuse to sign the petition.
