61. I agree in principle,
but not in practice. If someone waved a magic wand & Bush had 20 billion dollars more to spend, do you really think he'd spend it on veteran's benefits? No way - it'd go to more fat defense contracts, corporate welfare, etc. Bushco's whole operating goal is to systematically transfer the nation's wealth to the top 5%, and that's how he'd expend our tax revenues as well. "Poor management" implies the neglect was inadvertent. I don't think it's poor management at all; they've efficiently managed the funds exactly as they planned.
