Anger as Republicans block bill to help military veterans exposed to toxins

[konradv]

So, without reading anything, you assume thr dog-shit GOP voted down a bill like this because "fuck you"?

They don’t care about much, except being against anything the Dems are for.

 

[TNHarley]

So it actually gets spent where it is designed to get spent.

Why insist that it be "discretionary"?

No.
So even if it doesnt need to be spent, where is it going to go?

 

[Lesh]

No.
So even if it doesnt need to be spent, where is it going to go?

So you think that Vets don't need this money...that the VA doesn't need it?

You would prefer that this appropriated money could be raided for other purposes?

I put TNHarley on ignore months ago.

Mandatory spending automatically increases. There is no checks and balances for it.

That tells me all I need to know about you.

What is the difference between mandatory and discretionary spending? | Congressional Budget Office

The authority for discretionary spending stems from annual appropriation acts, which are under the control of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. Most defense, education, and transportation programs, for example, are funded that way, as are a variety of other federal programs and...

That is not the case for ALL mandatory spending.

It is not the case here

 

[evenflow1969]

So what BS did the dems tack on to it? No Bill stands alone, it's always a vehicle for more dem spending.

Lol, read it. Nothing was tacked to it. Ya just vote for a bunch of con men.

$400B

Did any of them care about the cost when we were sending our troops to Iraq in the first place?

 

[Flash]

I no longer have words to express the frustration and anger I feel after Senate Republicans blocked the PACT Act.

John Stewart is a stupid ass Moon Bat piece of shit that doesn't care any more about the military than the Man in the Moon.

 

[Flash]

If the Democrat filth cared about our veterans they would use some of that wasted money they have earmarked for their stupid worthless Environmental Wacko projects or some that they are planning on spending for the goddamn Illegals.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Uhhhhh prove that

Hey, why don't we just have Congress pass a bill that allows the office of president to increase spending on anything the president wants, in perpetuity? You know, so Congress doesn't have to do its job anymore?

Nothing unconstitutional about that, is there?

Who gives a rats fuck about that whole separation of powers bullshit?

 

[Lesh]

IF REPUBLICANS ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT VETERANS THEY WOULD PASS THIS BILL AND STOP ACTING LIKE ASSES

Oh yeah, there's plenty of hypocrisy to go around. You are quite right.

You yelling for it with such rage and urgency should make us all cautious about what kind of shit is tacked into it.

I think that Bill needs to be tabled for six months. If it's really important, we'll get back to it.

 

[The Original Tree]

This is the same bullshit and Faux Biden's "Infrastructure Bill" which has Billions of Pork in it for a non existent threat called Climate Change.

A lot of Vets will die in that six months

Fuck em huh?
