Original Note:
Claim uses the White House's "illusory 22% cut" across-the-board number to "spin to a 4-Pinocchio extreme" the Limit Save Grow Act will cut VA benefits, "when in fact VA benefits are unlikely to be cut", per WaPo. The HR 2811 bill does not specify any VA cuts. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/04/white-house-touts-illusory-va-cuts-gop-ducks-budget-specifics/ https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/2811/text https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3980888-gop-furious-at-va-claiming-debt-bill-cuts-veteran-benefits-shamelessly-lying/
