That’s the message that the Republicans are sending :

By a vote along party lines, the majority members of the House Budget Committee passed and reported for a vote by the House a budget resolution that would cut $844 million from veterans? medical care next year and $9.7 billion over the next 10 years. In addition, the budget resolution would cut $15 billion from the disability compensation and other benefit programs over the next 10 years. The House leadership are pushing these cuts to offset the cost of the President?s $1.57 trillion tax reduction plan.

Jeez, that’s as bad as cutting funding to firefighters after 9/11. Oh wait, they did that too.
