What you understand is what you’re told to understand.Well, from what I understand is Democrats don't want to be accountable for all the money. Of course Democrats and their lapdog media say Republicans hate veterans, which is bullshit.
The language in the bill says "manadory spending" for these vets who are sick from those burn pits. Which is pissing off motherfuckers like Cruz who won't be able to screw vets over in the future & cut the funding. Those scumbags want to destroy health care for vets & the VA & that bastard Trump floated the idea during his term but he knew he'd be crucified on election day if he did. And Republicans like Cruz were on board with the idea & still are.how am i screwing them over when i want them to get every fucking penny while you only want them to get a percentage while your little congress assholes get some for their little projects?....now who is screwing them over me or you?....
You understand WRONGWell, from what I understand is Democrats don't want to be accountable for all the money. Of course Democrats and their lapdog media say Republicans hate veterans, which is bullshit.
Hasn’t happened, you liar.You enjoy seeing veterans get screwed by Republican Senators
and then their fist-bumping over it.
And then you go off topic with personal attacks/trolling against your fellow posters.
So...you have a problem with "discretionary"......why are you crying when it's been changed to "mandatory" then?Discretionary means the Democrat filth in Congress and the White House has discretion. They could piss it away all kinds of ways and claim it is for the benefit of the veterans.
That is the Democrat scam. A $396 slush fund with no accountability.
Typical Democrat dishonesty.
These guys are so confused. They are just reading from the script.So...you have a problem with "discretionary"......why are you crying when it's been changed to "mandatory" then?
So direct spending to help sick vets is bad to you.....why?$396 billion that the fucking Democrats get to do with what they please before they get kicked out of Congress in November. Democrats using the health of our veterans to scam money from the Treasury. Shame!
Ah.....here it is.....attacking Jon Stewart because he's not a vet...........EVEN THO he's supporting vets while you are supporting those screwing the vets.If John Stewart was so passionate about veterans he’d be one.
The Democrat sonofabitches will use the money for anything they want; abortions, funding Illegal welfare, Environmental Wacko shit, Union payoffs, community organizing, gay and transgender outreach, etc. Hell, maybe even George Floyd will get a national monument out of it.
I agree republicans hate democrats. At least you're one of the few honest democrats around here that isn't accusing us of hating veterans.What you understand is what you’re told to understand.
No, Republicans don’t hate veterans. They hate Democrats. They want to hurt Democrats by blaming them for the failure of this bill and they invented an excuse to do so. They’re depending on you to believe their excuse.
There’s nothing wrong with the bill.
What gods? What's their names?Ah.....here it is.....attacking Jon Stewart because he's not a vet...........EVEN THO he's supporting vets while you are supporting those screwing the vets.
Well, I'm a vet and may the gods bless Jon Stewart!

Wow. Your lengthy self-congratulatory post is the epitome of vainglorious self reference and self reverence. Nobody gives a rats ass in hell who you would or wouldn’t vote for, either.Wow, I mean this thread should have ended hundreds of posts and days ago. Very early, I posted both versions of the bill. But I took it a step further, not only did I copy and paste the changes, I also copied and pasted the applicable portion of what Toomey was talking about.
From the very beginning, the funding was classified as, non-discretionary spending. Republicans didn't complain about that because, quite honestly, that is how almost all funding bills for all health care, the VA, Medicare, Medicaid, are structured. I mean imagine, the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan bill passed under Bush Jr, what if the funding would have been "discretionary", and subject to caps and limits. Dear Medicare Beneficiary, we are sorry to inform you that we have ran out of money and can no longer subsidize your premiums. Instead of paying $35 a month for your drug plan you have to pay $140, and remember, you are locked in until the end of the year. Hell, they would have ran to the Capital and made January 6 look like a damn picnic.
And initially, I was not sure what Toomey's motivation was. First, he is not running for reelection. His term is up at the end of this year. Second, he actually voted to convict Trump on his impeachment charges the second time around. Really comical that the same people that are out to crucify Romney and Cheney now regard Toomey as some kind of hero. But then it hit me. Toomey was picked to be the fall guy. He pays no repercussions if there is backlash, he ain't running again. He was the perfect pick. All the other Republicans keep their hands clean, and all this is really about is payback for Manchin finally agreeing to pass the watered down BBB act without a supermajority. If some Vets die in the process due to lack of access to medical care, then so be it. And make no mistake, there will be deaths.
But what is most insulting about all of this is the presumption of Republicans has to the sheer ignorance of their supporters. I mean right here, in this thread, we have individuals caterwalling about how the spending should be just for the Vets. How Democrats are going to take the money and spend it on something else. The exact opposite is the case here. By classifying the spending as non-discretionary, sometimes called MANDATORY, those dollars are protected. Not only is that spending not subject to caps, pay as you go rules, and the debt limit, they are also protected from some rouge president claiming an emergency and confiscating them.
Look, I don't expect many people to be as politically engaged as I am. Not many people are going to take the time to read pending bills, to intuitively know the Federal budget process, or even to keep up with who is running, who is not running, and who is retiring. But what I do expect is that even the most disengaged voter should know the difference between two words. Discretionary and non-discretionary. Hell, I have some nice dictionaries, but I collect books. Google is your friend. The reality is Republicans actually believe their supporters are too stupid to know the difference. I got to be honest, I would find that so insulting that I would never, ever, vote for a Republican again.
Motherfuckers like Cruz object to the language saying "mandatory" because they can't screw over vets who need this funding in the future for their health care, you moron.Hasn’t happened, you liar.
Also not what happened, you liar
And I’ve replied in kind to the dishonest posting of lying hacks like you. Stop being so dishonest, and stop pretending you care about other posters with all the games you always play. You’re not just a fraud, but you’re also overtly obvious about it.
Gfy, troll.
This is long overdue: you offer nothing of value here ever. You are snarky and always (but always) dishonest. Therefore, I believe it is more than high time I banish you to the shit poster phantom zone. Iggy for you.
