Summarization
Several tweets express disappointment with proposals from the US Congressional Budget Office (USCBO) regarding cutting or eliminating VA benefits for military veterans. Some criticize the prioritization of funding for other countries, such as Ukraine, over taking care of American veterans. There is support for the VFW's opposition to any efforts to reduce or eliminate veterans' benefits, and criticism of means-testing these benefits based on household income. Some tweets also express frustration with the prioritization of funding for foreign wars and suggest that the government has been hijacked by those not answerable to the American people.

| 1639451337892003841 | Interesting how they will print endless money to send to Ukraine or to bail out woke banks, but when it comes to taking care of our military veterans, they want to be a bunch of cheap skates. Why don’t you just stab us in the back while you’re at it? @USCBO | 129 |
| 1639456544638087169 | The great @AngryCops covers the @USCBO’s recent proposal to cut 🇺🇸 veterans’ disability payments based on gross household income… irrespective of any other variable $100 billion + for 🇺🇦… And DC bureaucrats propose cutting off military VA benefits https://t.co/VGxRaugZjL | 26 |
| 1638996575371288576 | 1/2 The VFW is aware of and is disappointed by the proposals from the @USCBO regarding slashing or eliminating certain VA benefits. We wholeheartedly oppose any efforts to reduce or eliminate programs that the men and women who served this country have earned. https://t.co/cMSrMlL1IC | 25 |
| 1639001577565597698 | Contrary to common belief, @USCBO data indicates: 1. Income after taxes/transfers has increased over the decades for all groups 2. The U.S. tax system is progressive and has become more so 3. The system relies heavily on high earners to raise revenue https://t.co/Z5WXxrfSPp https://t.co/S2U5hurLDT | 8 |
| 1640055011945205762 | According to @USCBO, Republicans CANNOT achieve their professed goal to cut their way to a balanced budget without making hurtful cuts to Social Security, Medicare, veterans’ benefits, or defense. The American public deserves to see what MAGA Republicans are planning. https://t.co/iGufwdckRj | 7 |
| 1641567987525197954 | Breaking: The House has passed a sweeping bill backed by GOP leaders that would roll back popular climate and clean energy plans AND increase the federal deficit by over $2.3 billion, per @USCBO. EDF's Raisa Orleans explains what's next H.R.1. https://t.co/AAObQlAeDZ | 6 |
| 1639412237432500224 | The proposal to means test veteran benefits on @USCBO's website will NEVER see the light of day as long as Republicans hold the majority in the House. https://t.co/SHFgeIvhaD | 5 |
| 1639463924134301701 | @USCBO is trying to end the @DeptVetAffairs benefits for disabled vets w/budget options 58653, 58654, & 58631! This will END all benefit payments for 1M disabled vets in 2024! I wrote all my Senators, Congressmen, and my Governor to stop this & urge you to do the same. 🧵1/3 | 4 |
| 1641126934615670821 | Unexpectedly humorous presentation of the fiscal outlook by @USCBO director @pswagel on the fiscal outlook moderated by @economistmom with plenty of respect for founding director Alice Rivlin and the role of rigorous nonpartisan fiscal analysis & projections https://t.co/V65o7mBNjp | 3 |
| 1639358014812479513 | This cannot happen. You wage a 20+ year war and then want to bail when the bill comes? Shame on you @USCBO https://t.co/vpPrGZDRzE | 3 |
