Original Note:
The White House "conjured up" the "illusory 22% VA cut" across-the-board number to claim HR 2811 will cut VA programs, "when in fact VA benefits are unlikely to be cut especially at such magnitudes" per WaPo fact check. HR 2811 does not specify any VA benefit 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/
