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

SOME Republicans have, so have MANY Democrats.
Doesn't mean either, or you, have a clear understanding of what socialism is.

We are waiting for the con-servatives on this thread to show us the pork they claim has been inserted in it since the LAST vote where Republicans voted FOR it. So far, nothing.
Here it is, Butch.


You may now shut your fat bloated cake hole.
 
WHAT “things” are you talking about?

You’re full of shit


And this exposes the whole “thank a Vet” thing as virtue signaling

If you actually cared you’d be outraged
Another moonbat sub-cretin who can zip it.....

 
Can't stand this ^^^^^

You never provided a LINK showing the PORK.
If you did, it was the same link I provided in post #52.

Why won't you just post the link again, instead of lying and saying "I provided the link in this thread."
I provided a link explaining that the language added by Democrats allows for unaccounted spending. Liar.
 
One thing common to this and the other related thread is the lack of precision and correct terms and concepts. There are two "PACT Act";
1)

S.797 - PACT Act​

...

To require transparency, accountability, and protections for consumers online.

2)

H.R.3967 - Honoring our PACT Act of 2022​

Engrossed Amendment Senate (06/16/2022)​


In the Senate of the United States,
June 16, 2022.
Resolved,
That the bill from the House of Representatives (H.R. 3967) entitled “An Act to improve health care and benefits for veterans exposed to toxic substances, and for other purposes.”, do pass with the following
AMENDMENT:
Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the following:
SECTION 1. Short title; references to title 38, United States Code; table of contents.

(a) Short title.—This Act may be cited as the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022 or the Honoring our PACT Act of 2022.
...
So far 55 Amendments. Also a rather long and convoluted text. But for those up to wading thru it ...
 
To Republicans, any program that helps the people…….is Socialist

Any program that helps Big Business is Patriotic
Correct. Socialism is a dead end and takes away initiative. Tax breaks for business owners is good. Duh! You're never going to get it.
 
Here it is, Butch.

Can add to that this from "Stars and Stripes". Though it is mostly a hatchet op-ed piece, at least it is honest on what the objection is about;
...
An earlier version of the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022, or PACT Act, was approved by the Senate by a vote of 84-14 in June. But the Senate needed to vote again Wednesday because the House made changes to the bill before the lower chamber passed it by a 342-88 vote on July 13.

The revised legislation drew 55 votes in the Senate — short of the 60 needed to overcome a filibuster. Twenty-five Republicans who previously supported versions of the bill voted against it on the procedural vote, according to a report by The Washington Post.

Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., was one of the senators who voted against the bill Wednesday. He said the PACT Act included more than $300 billion to be spent in the next 10 years unrelated to veterans and it was a concern for him and his colleagues.
...
..... The Congressional Budget Office reported on June 6 that the PACT Act’s cost estimate would be more than $600 billion.

As usual, Democrats and other looters have used a needed Bill as a means to tack on more scam of taxpayer funds while wrapping the flag about themselves in false patriotism.
 
Nearly everything from the Democrats in the past 80 years has been mostly socialism in one guise or another.
Like a broken clock that is correct twice a day, two times out of hundreds, on rare occasion a few of their ideas were good legislation at the start. Unfortunately those are often used as ruse to scam and shill more from the taxpayers.

What are these "more scam of taxpayer funds" you speak of?
