VA draws heat from Hill on PTSD
http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/story.php?f=1-292925-2138109.php

House lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle are upset because the Department of Veterans Affairs has not spent the entire $300 million it vowed to devote to post-traumatic stress syndrome amoung combat troops. BUT HERE IT IS GUYS) But they're upset for different reasons.

Democrats are unhappy that the VA is not spending what was promised, and believe veterans are being Hurt in the process.

Republicans also are not happy that PTSD funding isn't going where it was promised, but see this is an example of the VA's inability to spend money it is given-- which they say supports their recent efforts to hold down the size of the VA's budget (Ya Right our Cuts in Health Care)

Democrats care about real people Republicans only care they may have to spend more .LOL
