And from the above article
Republican Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama said: "This bill would spend more than we agreed to spend. The ink is hardly dry and here we have another bill to raise that spending again."
Let's change the bill after it's agreed upon, by the feckless, Dems!
Yep, outrageous!
There's plenty of money to create veterans...not enough to look after them.
No, that's not a typo. It happened. Senate Democrats do not want more accountability at the VA. They blocked a VA accountability bill (HR 4031) that would have made it easier to fire VA officials for misconduct or incompetence. The bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in the house, by a margin of 390-33.
House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday slammed Washington's response to the scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs, charging that "these are men and women who served our country and weve not just let them down, weve let them die."
"The reports that continue to come are appalling," the Ohio Republican told reporters at his weekly news briefing on Capitol Hill. "This is awful stuff, and someone ought to be held accountable for it."
The speaker praised the House's swift approval of the VA Accountability Act on Wednesday, which gives the VA secretary the authority to remove senior executive service employees based on performance.
The bill passed on a 390-33 vote, with 162 Democrats breaking ranks to support the legislation with 228 Republicans.
"We all share the American peoples outrage about the horrors at the VA outrage the president belatedly echoed yesterday," Boehner said, referring to President Barack Obama's vow to hold any VA official accountable for delaying treatment for returning service members and to "fix whatever is wrong" with the agency.
"The White House keeps talking about its efforts to increase VA funding, but wheres the accountability?" the speaker asked.
He also attacked Senate Democrats for blocking the House-passed accountability bill. Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio asked senators to bring up the legislation and pass it, but Democrats objected.
"As we head into the Memorial Day weekend, I am disappointed, and frankly shocked that Senate Democratic leaders chose to block legislation that would hold VA managers accountable," Boehner said. "This bill is not the whole solution to the systemic problems plaguing the VA, but it is a crucial first step and there is no substantive objection to it at all. None.
"As we head home to honor the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom, its fair to ask why Senate Democrats wont stand up for more accountability?"

Naturally. Block the stuff that really matters and do crap like sign petitions to get the Redskins to change their name, foist Homosexuality on society, and demonize producers like the Koch Brothers.
These people are SICK.
The coke brothers are thieves. If they weren't the coke brothers they'd be in jail.
