Military Groups Slam Republicans For Killing A Bill Supporting Veterans

(Reuters) – Veterans organizations were upset with Senate Republicans after they failed to gain enough votes of support to move forward with a measure that would have expanded federal healthcare and education programs for veterans. The GOP argued that the bill would bust the budget.

Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT) sponsored the bill that would have waived the VA spending cap that was previously established in a budget deal approved by both Congress and President Obama last December. Sander’s office estimated the legislation would have cost $20 billion over the course of ten years.


60 votes were needed to waive the budget rule. 41 out of 45 Republicans voted against it and killed the bill.

Forty Republican members of the United States Senate betrayed veterans today when they decided that denying President Obama a victory was more important than spending $1 billion to create jobs for vets.

Veterans’ Jobs Bill Blocked in the Senate
By Jennifer Steinhauer September 19, 2012 5:31 pm September 19, 2012 5:31 pm

Eager to shoot down President Obama’s legislative agenda just weeks before the election, Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a measure that would have provided $1 billion over five years to help veterans find work in their communities.

Senate GOP Obstructionists Throw Veterans Under The Bus-Vote Down Bill To Help Vets In Need Of Jobs

~~~~~


IMO, we need to be taking care of our vets but Republicans and RWs disagree. I hope people think about this when they vote.

I love how conservatives try and take credit for supporting veterans.....but when it comes to providing for them after they have finished the job.....it's like fetuses after they are born...YOYO (You're On Your Own)!

Baby killers, such as yourself, don't care about killing your own.... have any info on how many fucking Liberals adopt compared to Conservatives?

And each one of those bills had so much PORK added to them, it would be impossible to approve them with financial responsibility... But don't let FACTS get in the way of a good Communist rant!

Is that your defense for why Republicans block or vote "NO" to any bill that helps veterans? You have to come up with a better excuse......like "you don't need them anymore....they've served their purpose" ......

Yes, Playtex, we understand you scumbags have a hard time with reality, especially when it comes to OTHER PEOPLES money!...And YET the obamanation CAPS the military raises that were CUT because of him, and you say NOTHING.... You dear, are a fucking HYPOCRITE!!!

Weird, you don't understand what the sequester was and what it did, lol

LOL

It was supposed to cut spending and put the brakes on continued out of control spending..............and here we go again............Have another round of debt ceiling chickens on the stage.......................Yell Gov't shut down as your side will not honor deals.............

Budget Control Act of 2011 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Debt ceiling:

• The debt ceiling was increased by $400 billion immediately.[2]
• The President could request a further increase of $500 billion, which is subject to a congressional motion of disapproval which the President may veto, in which case a two-thirds majority in Congress would be needed to override the veto.[3] This has been called the 'McConnell mechanism' after the Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who first suggested it as part of another scheme.[4]
• The President could request a final increase of $1.2–1.5 trillion, subject to the same disapproval procedure. The exact amount depends on the amount of cuts in the "super committee" plan if it passes Congress, and whether a Balanced budget amendment has been sent to the states.[3]

Deficit reduction:

• Spending was reduced more than the increase in the debt limit. No tax increases or other forms of increases in revenue above current law were included in the bill.[5]
• The bill directly specified $917 billion of cuts over 10 years in exchange for the initial debt limit increase of $900 billion.[5] This is the first installment ("tranche") of cuts. $21 billion of this will be applied in theFY2012 budget.[4]
• Additionally, the agreement established the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, sometimes called the "super committee",[1] to produce deficit reduction legislation by November 23, 2011, that would be immune from amendments or filibuster (similar to the Base Realignment and Closure).[4][6] The goal of the legislation was to cut at least $1.5 trillion over the coming 10 years and be passed by December 23, 2011.[6] Projected revenue from the committee's legislation could not exceed the revenue budgeting baseline produced by current law. (Current law has the Bush tax cuts expiring at the end of 2012.) The committee would have 12 members, 6 from each party.[5]
• The agreement also specified an incentive for Congress to act. If Congress failed to produce a deficit reduction bill with at least $1.2 trillion in cuts, then Congress could grant a $1.2 trillion increase in the debt ceiling but this would trigger across-the-board cuts ("sequestrations"[note 1]), as of January 2, 2013.[3] These cuts would apply to mandatory and discretionary spending in the years 2013 to 2021 and be in an amount equal to the difference between $1.2 trillion and the amount of deficit reduction enacted from the joint committee. There would be some exemptions: reductions would apply to Medicare providers, but not to Social Security, Medicaid, civil and military employee pay, or veterans.[4][5] Medicare benefits would be limited to a 2% reduction.[7]

As originally envisioned, these caps would equally affect security and non-security programs. Security programs would include the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Nuclear Security Administration, some management functions of the intelligence community and international affairs from the U.S. State Department.[8] However, because the Joint Select Committee did not report any legislation to Congress, the act reset these caps to defense (essentially the DOD) and non-defense categories.[9] This became one of the important elements of the fiscal cliff.[10]

AND? WHERES OBAMA SAYING NO MORE TAXES BUBS? You realize that was just ONE law right? lol

The deal was to make cuts...............and if no deal is made the auto cuts and taxes came into play....................

They never had any intention of making the cuts........................except to the military............

I've shown several articles saying NO NEW TAXES DAD...............

They even promised to put in a balanced budget deal to the states.............



Obama is Lying SAC.................He lied about Sequester.................He lied about his campaign promises.............lied about cheaper health care........

And here you are DEFENDING THE LYING AGAIN..................they said they'd come up with cuts in the deal........................

PANTS ON FIRE.....................

On December 10, 2013, Senate Budget Committee chairman Patty Murray (D-WA) and House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) announced that they have reached a two-year budget agreement in advance of the budget conference’s December 13th deadline.

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 would set overall discretionary spending for the current fiscal year at $1.012 trillion—about halfway between the Senate budget level of $1.058 trillion and the House budget level of $967 billion. The agreement would provide $63 billion in sequester relief over two years, split evenly between defense and non-defense programs. In fiscal year 2014, defense discretionary spending would be set at $520.5 billion, and non-defense discretionary spending would be set at $491.8 billion.

The sequester relief is fully offset by savings elsewhere in the budget. The agreement includes dozens of specific deficit-reduction provisions, with mandatory savings and non-tax revenue totaling $85 billion. The agreement would reduce the deficit by $23 billion.

House Passes $2.1 Trillion U.S. Debt-Limit Increase Plan

‘Not One Red Cent’
“It’s hard to believe we are putting our best foot forward with the legislation that comes before us today,” said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California. “Not one red cent” will come from the wealthiest Americans to cut the deficit, she said. Still, she said she supports the plan because it ends economic uncertainty and prevents cuts in Social Security and Medicare.


Treasuries rose, pushing the yields on 10-year notes to the lowest level since November, as an index showed U.S. manufacturing expanded in July at the slowest pace in two years.

Yields on benchmark 10-year notes fell five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 2.74 percent at 5:02 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 3.125 percent securities due in May 2021 gained 14/32, or $4.38 per $1,000 face amount, to 103 8/32.

U.S. stocks slumped. The Standard and Poor’s 500 lost 0.4 percent to 1,286.94 at 4:19 p.m. in New York after climbing as much as 1.2 percent earlier. The Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated 10.75 points, or 0.1 percent, to 12,132.49 today after rising 139 points.

No Tax Increase
House Republican leaders cast the deal as a victory because it doesn’t raise taxes and makes most of the spending cuts they sought.

“It gives us the best shot that we’ve had in the 20 years that I’ve been here to build support for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution,” to put “fiscal handcuffs” on Congress, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio told reporters.

Ryan said his party got two-thirds of the cuts to discretionary spending that it wanted.

“This legislation is typical for compromise legislation,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat. “Neither side got what they wanted.”

Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, said he will support the legislation though it doesn’t do enough to tackle long-term spending and revenue. Warner, one of a bipartisan group that offered a $3.7 trillion deficit-cutting plan, said, “This doesn’t get us to the core problem of how do we take on tax reform, how do we take on entitlement reform.”

One law of Dems COMPLAINING the GOP would NOT assist with getting more revenues from those "job creators" AND? lol

TRY to grow a brain Bubs

The deal was to get rid of loop holes in the tax system..............asshat.

NO IT WASN'T YOU DUMBFUK, ALTHOUGH OBAMA PROPOSED THAT IN HIS CORP TAX OVERHAUL NEARLY 3 YEARS AGO,, THE GOP REFUSED!

Obama said cut Corp tax rate to 28% and get rid of loopholes and use revenues to create jobs via infrastructure, of course the GOP said FUKKK NO we will not help AMERICANS!

I'd suggest you don't vote for the guy??

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Did anyone READ the article? The bill would have busted the spending caps approved by both sides. I notice when ever the dems deny a bill because of that there is no whining and crying claiming they are mean people. Last I checked the Government made a deal to abide by the budget restrictions and when ever anyone tries on the republican side to get an exemption you turds are all in here screaming like maniacs that it is not allowed. So which is it? Are certain bills allowed to be exempt?And exactly who gets to decide which ones are and which ones aren't?

If the Ds are so willing to ignore spending caps on this where are they willing to cut to compensate?

Take the money from the California High Speed Rail........and put that 65 BILLION into the VA.............

There's a place to get the funds..........California can build their own dang rail and pay for it......

California is already one of the states that send more tax funds to Washington DC than they get back in return. Why should they be the one to pay the bill. How about if we do like Trump says and make Wall Street Hedge Fund dealers pay the same rate of taxes as hourly workers instead of half the rate the rest of us have to pay on income taxes. Or how about if we follow the advice of the Koch brothers and stop handing out Wall Street welfare in the form of bail outs and tax loopholes.

California has a larger population............

Secondly, the Red State Rant BS includes Federal money for military bases, and military construction of ships and the like..............to say look how these states are fleecing America as they add BILLION DOLLAR SHIPS into the picture........................

Biased, misguided rants from the left and nothing more...................they also add in places like NASA for the bs propaganda as well..................just typical liberal nonsense.

Red States Feed at Federal Trough, Blue States Supply the Feed

Top Ten (Source: Tax Foundation):

1. New Mexico Indian reservations, military bases, federal research labs, farm subsidies, retirement programs

2. Mississippi Farm subsidies, military spending, nutrition and anti-poverty aid, retirement programs.

3. Alaska Per capita No 1 recipient of federal benefits; infrastructure projects, DOT and pork projects.

4. Louisiana Disaster relief, farm subsidies, anti-poverty and nutrition aid, military spending.

5. W. Virginia Farm subsidies, anti-poverty and nutrition aid.

6. N. Dakota Farm subsidies, energy subsidies, retirement and anti-poverty programs, Indian reservations.

7. Alabama Retirement programs, anti-poverty and nutrition aid, federal space/military spending, farm subsidies.

8. S. Dakota Retirement programs, nutrition aid, farm subsidies, military spending, Indian reservations.

9. Virginia Civil service pensions, military spending, veterans benefits, retirement, anti-poverty aid.

10. Kentucky Retirement programs, nutritional and anti-poverty aid, farm subsidies.

Now consider the bottom 10, i.e., the ones that give more to the federal government in taxes than they get in return. From 1 to 10, they are:

New Jersey, Nevada, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Illinois, Delaware, California, New York, Colorado.



Anything strange about that list? Yes, they are all blue states (or the deepest of purple).

THEY DON'T HAVE MILITARY RIGHT?




Adding to this fallacy are the assumptions surrounding Mitt Romney’s now infamous comments about the indolent “47 percent” of Americans who regard themselves as victims and therefore pay no taxes. As the American Conservative magazine (no less) pointed out recently, nine of those 10 states are in the red-as-ruby Old Confederacy.*

Blue State, Red Face: Guess Who Benefits More From Your Taxes?

Wait? Remind me how percentages don't matter when we talk about Black violence and murder only raw numbers. Or is that different?

Budget Control Act of 2011 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Debt ceiling:

• The debt ceiling was increased by $400 billion immediately.[2]
• The President could request a further increase of $500 billion, which is subject to a congressional motion of disapproval which the President may veto, in which case a two-thirds majority in Congress would be needed to override the veto.[3] This has been called the 'McConnell mechanism' after the Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who first suggested it as part of another scheme.[4]
• The President could request a final increase of $1.2–1.5 trillion, subject to the same disapproval procedure. The exact amount depends on the amount of cuts in the "super committee" plan if it passes Congress, and whether a Balanced budget amendment has been sent to the states.[3]

Deficit reduction:

• Spending was reduced more than the increase in the debt limit. No tax increases or other forms of increases in revenue above current law were included in the bill.[5]
• The bill directly specified $917 billion of cuts over 10 years in exchange for the initial debt limit increase of $900 billion.[5] This is the first installment ("tranche") of cuts. $21 billion of this will be applied in theFY2012 budget.[4]
• Additionally, the agreement established the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, sometimes called the "super committee",[1] to produce deficit reduction legislation by November 23, 2011, that would be immune from amendments or filibuster (similar to the Base Realignment and Closure).[4][6] The goal of the legislation was to cut at least $1.5 trillion over the coming 10 years and be passed by December 23, 2011.[6] Projected revenue from the committee's legislation could not exceed the revenue budgeting baseline produced by current law. (Current law has the Bush tax cuts expiring at the end of 2012.) The committee would have 12 members, 6 from each party.[5]
• The agreement also specified an incentive for Congress to act. If Congress failed to produce a deficit reduction bill with at least $1.2 trillion in cuts, then Congress could grant a $1.2 trillion increase in the debt ceiling but this would trigger across-the-board cuts ("sequestrations"[note 1]), as of January 2, 2013.[3] These cuts would apply to mandatory and discretionary spending in the years 2013 to 2021 and be in an amount equal to the difference between $1.2 trillion and the amount of deficit reduction enacted from the joint committee. There would be some exemptions: reductions would apply to Medicare providers, but not to Social Security, Medicaid, civil and military employee pay, or veterans.[4][5] Medicare benefits would be limited to a 2% reduction.[7]

As originally envisioned, these caps would equally affect security and non-security programs. Security programs would include the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Nuclear Security Administration, some management functions of the intelligence community and international affairs from the U.S. State Department.[8] However, because the Joint Select Committee did not report any legislation to Congress, the act reset these caps to defense (essentially the DOD) and non-defense categories.[9] This became one of the important elements of the fiscal cliff.[10]

AND? WHERES OBAMA SAYING NO MORE TAXES BUBS? You realize that was just ONE law right? lol

The deal was to make cuts...............and if no deal is made the auto cuts and taxes came into play....................

They never had any intention of making the cuts........................except to the military............

I've shown several articles saying NO NEW TAXES DAD...............

They even promised to put in a balanced budget deal to the states.............



Obama is Lying SAC.................He lied about Sequester.................He lied about his campaign promises.............lied about cheaper health care........

And here you are DEFENDING THE LYING AGAIN..................they said they'd come up with cuts in the deal........................

PANTS ON FIRE.....................

On December 10, 2013, Senate Budget Committee chairman Patty Murray (D-WA) and House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) announced that they have reached a two-year budget agreement in advance of the budget conference’s December 13th deadline.

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 would set overall discretionary spending for the current fiscal year at $1.012 trillion—about halfway between the Senate budget level of $1.058 trillion and the House budget level of $967 billion. The agreement would provide $63 billion in sequester relief over two years, split evenly between defense and non-defense programs. In fiscal year 2014, defense discretionary spending would be set at $520.5 billion, and non-defense discretionary spending would be set at $491.8 billion.

The sequester relief is fully offset by savings elsewhere in the budget. The agreement includes dozens of specific deficit-reduction provisions, with mandatory savings and non-tax revenue totaling $85 billion. The agreement would reduce the deficit by $23 billion.

WEIRD? lol

Weird.............we hit the ceiling back in March yet again.....................

Weird huh..............

You mean AGAIN? What was that about 40 times since Ronnie gutted taxes for the rich? Horrible right? Perhaps Dubya/GOP should've left the fiscal policies of Clinton alone after 4 straight surpluses? lol

AND NOPE, Clinton received 3 of them AFTER he vetoed the GOP's $700+ billion tax cut from the CONservatives/GOPers, lol

Selective memory........................Clinton was forced to do the shit your side takes credit for.................Military downsizing, and welfare reform................

In the middle of .............OH MY FUCKING GOD............GOV'T SHUT DOWNS.................did the sky fall back then because the gov't got shut down 3 times...........................

According to you and your ilk the sky would fall and the old would have to eat dog food.................didn't happen in the 90's now did it.............

You got to go back to Reagan and Clinton to defend your Liar N Chief................

House Passes $2.1 Trillion U.S. Debt-Limit Increase Plan

‘Not One Red Cent’
“It’s hard to believe we are putting our best foot forward with the legislation that comes before us today,” said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California. “Not one red cent” will come from the wealthiest Americans to cut the deficit, she said. Still, she said she supports the plan because it ends economic uncertainty and prevents cuts in Social Security and Medicare.


Treasuries rose, pushing the yields on 10-year notes to the lowest level since November, as an index showed U.S. manufacturing expanded in July at the slowest pace in two years.

Yields on benchmark 10-year notes fell five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 2.74 percent at 5:02 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 3.125 percent securities due in May 2021 gained 14/32, or $4.38 per $1,000 face amount, to 103 8/32.

U.S. stocks slumped. The Standard and Poor’s 500 lost 0.4 percent to 1,286.94 at 4:19 p.m. in New York after climbing as much as 1.2 percent earlier. The Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated 10.75 points, or 0.1 percent, to 12,132.49 today after rising 139 points.

No Tax Increase
House Republican leaders cast the deal as a victory because it doesn’t raise taxes and makes most of the spending cuts they sought.

“It gives us the best shot that we’ve had in the 20 years that I’ve been here to build support for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution,” to put “fiscal handcuffs” on Congress, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio told reporters.

Ryan said his party got two-thirds of the cuts to discretionary spending that it wanted.

“This legislation is typical for compromise legislation,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat. “Neither side got what they wanted.”

Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, said he will support the legislation though it doesn’t do enough to tackle long-term spending and revenue. Warner, one of a bipartisan group that offered a $3.7 trillion deficit-cutting plan, said, “This doesn’t get us to the core problem of how do we take on tax reform, how do we take on entitlement reform.”

One law of Dems COMPLAINING the GOP would NOT assist with getting more revenues from those "job creators" AND? lol

TRY to grow a brain Bubs

The deal was to get rid of loop holes in the tax system..............asshat.

NO IT WASN'T YOU DUMBFUK, ALTHOUGH OBAMA PROPOSED THAT IN HIS CORP TAX OVERHAUL NEARLY 3 YEARS AGO,, THE GOP REFUSED!

Obama said cut Corp tax rate to 28% and get rid of loopholes and use revenues to create jobs via infrastructure, of course the GOP said FUKKK NO we will not help AMERICANS!

BTW..............the stimulus plan was to fix the infrastructure and create SHOVEL READY JOBS............Do you really wanna go there bubba............

and Obama wanted to SPEND AGAIN.............INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING...................

Yeah that's HONORING BUDGET CUTS ISN'T IT.............

Did you sniff glue as a kid........................

NO YOU DUMBFUKK, The stimulus was ONLY to keep US out of ANOTHER GOP great depression. It was 40% tax cuts, 20% aid to states and 20% projects, it worked as promised, though as the PROGRESSIVE economists said at the time, way to small after Dubya's policies shrunk GDP 9%+ the last quarter of 2008!

 

[Mertex]

Yes, Playtex, we understand you scumbags have a hard time with reality, especially when it comes to OTHER PEOPLES money!...And YET the obamanation CAPS the military raises that were CUT because of him, and you say NOTHING.... You dear, are a fucking HYPOCRITE!!!

Fucking liar........put your links where your mouth is. You must be part of the Trump base.......dumber than rocks.


But he decided to accuse the commander-in-chief of not supporting the troops and actually wanting to keep people in poverty. There is this belief out there that Republican extremism comes from the base and not the elites. But Cheney proves otherwise.

There's more to this. You might disagree with Obama's priorities, but Cheney's claim is based entirely on the notion that Hagel and Obama are proposing military cuts. But they aren't. Hagel proposed a change in force structure that would lead to a smaller Army, but his overall budget proposal is $115 billion more than the current sequester levels demanded by Republicans. Hagel is going to have plenty of fights on his hands, but mainly because he wants more money, not less.

President Obama is fighting cuts to the military, not demanding them

 

[Dad2three]

If the Ds are so willing to ignore spending caps on this where are they willing to cut to compensate?

Take the money from the California High Speed Rail........and put that 65 BILLION into the VA.............

There's a place to get the funds..........California can build their own dang rail and pay for it......

California is already one of the states that send more tax funds to Washington DC than they get back in return. Why should they be the one to pay the bill. How about if we do like Trump says and make Wall Street Hedge Fund dealers pay the same rate of taxes as hourly workers instead of half the rate the rest of us have to pay on income taxes. Or how about if we follow the advice of the Koch brothers and stop handing out Wall Street welfare in the form of bail outs and tax loopholes.

California has a larger population............

Secondly, the Red State Rant BS includes Federal money for military bases, and military construction of ships and the like..............to say look how these states are fleecing America as they add BILLION DOLLAR SHIPS into the picture........................

Biased, misguided rants from the left and nothing more...................they also add in places like NASA for the bs propaganda as well..................just typical liberal nonsense.

Cali larger? Don't understand what percentage are huh? lol
