Pkaying politics with the lives of vets

[tinydancer]

Tell that to the families of the dead vets.

It was a bullshit bill. You should know by now I never ever fucking lie. I never ever fucking spin. The VA has been more than financed. Don't hang onto this bullshit.

go back to the trailer park and play with your balls, cuss, and keep telling yourself you never lie ... you're an idiot

Keep it up.

LOL - I know no such thing.

Plenty of blame to go around on this one.
The repubs dropped the ball, the Dems dropped the ball, Bush dropped the ball, Obama dropped the ball (after campaigning on fixing it).

So spin yourself silly all you want - the only thing I care about is getting this crap fixed. You guys can take care of the blame game all you want.

U.S. Senate Republicans block veterans' health bill on budget worry | Reuters



(Reuters) - U.S. Senate Republicans blocked legislation on Thursday that would have expanded federal healthcare and education programs for veterans, saying the $24 billion bill would bust the budget.

Even though the legislation cleared a procedural vote on Tuesday by a 99-0 vote, the measure quickly got bogged down in partisan fighting

Funny how you failed to mention the 11 commiecrats that voted with the republicans, simple oversight, I think not. Seems we have us a new political hack on the board that mistakenly thinks he's the smartest person in the thread. Negged for not pointing out is was a bipartisan vote.

11 out of 53 doesn't make it bipartisan

But that's Ok - just get this crap fixed. Let the hyper-partisans play the blame game - let the leaders get it fixed.

FY 2013 Budget: The Facts for Veterans
Issues: Veterans

Several media outlets are reporting that the GOP Budget cuts funding for veterans. These same outlets charge that the GOP budget doesn’t even mention the word “veterans.” Both charges are wrong.

These reports stem from a misreading of the GOP Budget and by comparing the CBO scoring of the GOP Budget and the President’s Budget, with that of OMB’s score of the President’s Budget. Using CBO scoring for both budgets, the GOP Budget exceeds the funding levels for veterans over the next 10 year as compared to the President’s budget (see chart below).

The Facts

FACT: The GOP Budget Keeps Discretionary Spending for Veterans Exactly the Same as Proposed By President Obama: $61.342 Billion. Using CBO numbers (which, by law, every Congressional budget resolution must use), the GOP budget assumes discretionary spending (i.e., VA medical care, construction, claims processing and national cemetery administration, etc.) on veterans in FY 2013 at exactly the amount requested in the President’s Budget.

In both budgets, this translates to a 4.3% increase above the FY 2012 funding level for VA, as recommended in the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs’ bipartisan Views and Estimates letter.

FACT: The GOP Budget Fully Funds VA Entitlement Programs in FY 2013 and Beyond.

Again, using CBO numbers, the GOP budget fully funds VA entitlement programs (i.e., disability compensation, pension, GI Bill, etc.) this year and beyond. The only difference between the GOP Budget and the President’s Budget under mandatory spending is the exclusion of the President’s $1 billion Veterans Jobs Corps proposal, on which the Administration has yet to produce any details.

The exclusion of the Veterans Jobs Corps in FY 2013 spending is supported by all 11 House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs’ Democrats and Senator Patty Murray of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs (see SVAC V&E letter).

FACT: The Word “Veterans” Appears 41 Times in the GOP Budget. FY 2014 advanced appropriations for veterans’ medical care is dictated by Section 501(c) of the GOP budget resolution, which permits advance appropriation not exceeding $54.462 Billion “for the following programs in the Department of Veterans Affairs – (A) Medical Services; (B) Medical Support and Compliance; and (C) Medical Facilities accounts of the Veterans Health Administration.” The word “veterans” clearly appears in the GOP Budget.

Democraps attach pork spending and other bullshit to VA and DoD bills....then blame the GOP for not wanting to pass that pork spending and bullshit stuff while claiming the GOP "hates the military and Vets."

Quite despicable.

Stupid fuck....we are talking about adding bullshit to VA and DoD bills like sponsoring liberal pet projects that have nothing to do with national defense.
