Posted July 29, 20223 yr Blindsided veterans erupt in fury after Senate Republicans suddenly tank PACT Act https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/blindsided-veterans-erupt-fury-senate-republicans-suddenly-tank-pact-a-rcna40516 Quote in a move that shocked and confused veteran groups Wednesday night, 41 Senate Republicans blocked the bill's passage, including 25 who had supported it a month ago. Quote The Senate passed the original legislation 84-14 in June. It underwent minor changes when it moved to the House, where it passed 342-88. When the bill returned to the Senate, the bill had not changed much but the view — and vote — of 25 senators did. This is utter BS. There are LOTS of spending cuts to be made, but Fing over veterans is pathetic.
July 29, 20223 yr Seems a simple enough fix. Just have the house pass the original version without the hundreds of billions in back door spending. Our veterans deserve it.

July 29, 20223 yr Also as Stewart points out, it can't be used as a slush fund since the office of veterans affairs has oversight of it. Also the fact that these guys vote for slush funds quite literally all the time.

They DGAF about what's in the bill, just that they vote against the Dems. Despicable.

July 29, 20223 yr It's easy to see in here why politicians continue to get away with it. Bipartisan legislation that benefits veterans gets passed by the senate. The house gets a hold of it and makes a major change that will give the politicians hundreds of billions of dollars more to spend on their pet projects, in the midst of historic inflation largely caused by government overspending, and sends it back to the senate. Republicans say, wait a minute, this isn't what we passed and we can't sign off on this cynical change that will exacerbate our massive problem with inflation. CVON code pink then activates and cries exactly what the politicians want them to cry, "OMG, Republicans don't care about veterans!!!!!" instead of realizing that if the house just put the politics aside for this one bill the veterans would get the help that they deserve. Disgraceful.
