11. Trump's proposal to slash benefits for veterans 'dead on arrival' in Congress

You have to admit that it is a pretty gangsta move on Trump's part to propose slashing benefits to veterans, then force the military to march through the streets and salute him like a Generalismo. It is sort of like him chasing after pornstars, then having Melania Trump issue press releases dismissing news of the affairs as fake news.

Veterans advocates say a proposal from the Trump administration that would dramatically cut monthly stipends to individual veterans is "dead on arrival" in Congress.

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.
