Let me just read what the national commander of the Disabled American Veterans says about that very subject. He says it better than I could. ``Has Congress no shame?'' he said a couple of weeks ago when this Republican budget was before the House. ``Is there no honor left in the hallowed halls of our government that you choose to dishonor the sacrifice of our Nation's heroes and rob our programs, health care and disability compensation, to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy?'' That is his diagnosis, and I think it is hard to argue with.
