		The district court dismissed the case and stated that, although peti- tioner's failure to file a timely claim "resulted solely from the gross error of [petitioner's] attorney," the case did not warrant equitable tolling of the statute of limitations under the "narrow view of the doctrine" expressed in Irwin v.
		The court of appeals affirmed the dismissal, stating that, although it was "not unsympathetic with [petitioner's] plight," under the circumstances petitioner's sole remaining remedy was an action against his attorney.

		It is true that Bush is not seeking as big an increase for next year as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs wanted. It is also true that the administration has tried to slow the growth of spending for veterans by not giving new benefits to some middle-income vets.
		While it's false to say the veterans budget has been cut, and false to say that any veteran getting benefits has been cut off, it is true that funding is not growing as rapidly as demand for benefits, or as rapidly as veterans groups would like.
		Veterans groups have called for "mandatory funding" of medical benefits, which would automatically appropriate whatever funds are required to meet demand.
