Original Note:
Setting the FY2024 budget back to FY2022 levels w/o decreasing defense funding (which Republicans have said they won’t touch) would mean a 22% decrease in non-defense funding, which includes these budgets. The bill does not exclude/protect veteran care from cuts. https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-budget/house-republicans-pledge-to-cut-appropriated-programs-to-2022-level-would https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/briefing-room/2023/04/20/congressional-republicans-legislation-22-cuts-that-would-harm-american-families-seniors-and-veterans/ https://www.stripes.com/theaters/us/2023-04-26/veterans-debt-ceiling-spending-cuts-9930863.html https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1653391398291267586?s=20
