Original Note:
VoteVets' ad uses the White House's "illusory 22% cut" across-the-board number to take the "spin to a 4-Pinocchio extreme" stating HR 2811 will cut VA programs, "when in fact VA benefits are unlikely to be cut" per WaPo. HR 2811 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/
