WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- A veterans' group denounced a plan by U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann to freeze healthcare spending and cut disability payments for veterans, calling it heartless.
Bachmann, a Minnesota Republican, posted the proposal on her Web site, calling for a total of $400 billion in spending cuts, Army Times reported. She said the cuts would prevent increasing the debt ceiling, now at $14.3 trillion.
