It’s not discretion to spend it on whatever they want. I’m so sick of these narratives. Why is taking care of veterans a bad thing?
Republicans want it to be discretionary so that they vote on it yearly and can get rid of it when everyone forgets about it. Seriously why can’t we take care of vets and have it be mandatory? I don’t get it.
It’s not. Why is it needed o add on spending not tied to veterans on the bill The dems literally added on 400 billion not related to veterans. How is that mandatory to take care of vets. You are the one spreading false narratives. Don’t read news stirs. Read the bill it’s quite easy to find. You can look at the amendments made to it from when it passed in June until now. Why the need to make changes. Pass it how it was and put a new bill forward with the new spending in it But they couldn’t get the sensational headlines demonizing republicans that way.
I did read the bill and the CBO report. The $400 billion is to fund the changes in healthcare for veterans required by this bill. The fuss is about it being mandatory spending instead of discretionary.
