Fox News<\/a> reports that the President won’t agree to any budget that limits the government’s domestic spending nor will he negotiate with Congress’ proposals to cut spending; <\/p>\n

[Treasury Secretary Jack Lew] also said the president was not going to accept a budget in which domestic spending is further cut to soften the blow to Defense spending.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s unacceptable,” Lew, who appeared on three Sunday shows to re-enforce the president\u2019s positions, told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “He won’t sign that.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, the president’s threats stand in stark contrast to his stance on raising healthcare costs on military retirees and reductions in military pay. He claims that he’ll veto any defense budget that doesn’t do both of those things, yet he’s immobile on domestic spending. <\/p>\n

And at the same time he says that he’s not going to balance the budget on the backs of veterans. So, I’m still wondering what all of my veteran friends out there who thought that Obama was good for veterans and defense have to say now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
