Braley Statement on Budget Resolution Passed by House Washington, Mar 13 - Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) released the following statement in response to the budget resolution that passed the House this afternoon: “The budget that passed the House today is a huge improvement over the President’s proposed budget. The House-approved budget rejects George Bush’s deep cuts in Medicare—which totaled up to $479 billion—and increases veterans funding by $3.6 billion. That’s enough for the VA to treat 5.8 million patients in 2008, including 333,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. “Supporting our troops demands more than just words; it demands action. This budget will provide needed resources for our veterans.”
