Seriously? This administration gave a $1.5 trillion tax cut to the 1%. Now they're telling us they can't afford health care for those of us who put on a uniform to serve our country. This is shameful.
He will give it, he just wants it offset by other cuts in other areas of government. And we all know there is waste everywhere-
In a letter Monday, the Trump administration demanded that lawmakers fund a popular veterans’ health-care program — which allows former troops to spend public funds on private doctors and hospitals — with cuts to other parts of the budget. Democrats, and some top Senate Republicans, prefer to raise the current caps on discretionary spending instead.
Where do you get the idea that "there is waste everywhere"?
Hearsay? Just something that you assume because 'everybody' says so?
Or is it that you consider 'waste' to be anything that doesn't benefit you specifically?
We have government "for the people", meaning government for ALL Americans, not just you or what you approve of.
If all the waste in Senator Flake's report were true, why hasn't he started a Senate investigation? Is he the ONLY Senator that cares about waste? Why hasn't he done anything?
This looks like a report written for his feeble minded constituents - to convince them that he alone is the champion responsible government.
I don't buy it - you've been dup'd by a politician.
And by the way, when I worked for a government contractor, the government people were the cheapest penny pinching bunch you could imagine - they kept demanding that we squeeze blood out of a rock every day.
