So is this new VA announcement good or bad?...

.. as I don't trust one damn word coming from anyone in this administration and my 91 yr
old father.. Veteran of two wars...is using VA benefits and I need to be aware of any
changes coming up. I wish I could believe just one person in the white house.

in full, coherent sentences and that he sounds like he's done his homework and appears to be open to answering questions makes it difficult to know whether it's good or bad. So far it's easy, no, it's advisable, to dismiss the possibility of anything good coming out of this administration.

I am also waiting to hear what he is going to do.

It seems they are picking the nickel and dime stuff to cut but splurging on other items that will benefit their friends. What they are cutting out affects so many people in need, but the billionaires don't need more money. How much is enough?

I had heard they were cutting the dependency money out altogether. Surely that isn't right.
