Where will the money come from to revamp our VA as Obama intends with Shinseki in this frozen economy?

Realizing this is an extremely undereducated question, it's too important to me not to ask. Congress approves funding for each cabinet budget task. Where will it come from?

    We'll have to issue more bonds (borrow it), but this MUST be done--we (Bush & Cheney at the head) have let down our veterans (and military) and that is a disgrace.

    It will create more healthcare jobs, and the veterans who are able will be able to work once the economy picks up, so it's more of an "investment."

    It will likely be borrowed. The money would be there if the majority of people had cared to ask these questions during the past 8 years. Things are going to have to get worse before they get better whether the government spends any money or not. I would prefer spending tax dollars on constructive things as opposed dropping bombs and paying mercenaries working in Iraq.

    They will pull it out of thin air just like all the rest of the bail out money.

    They will either borrow it or print it.
