Anger as Republicans block bill to help military veterans exposed to toxins

[Tommy Tainant]

Lets start... Please remove 'Patriot' from your name... You are more **** the nation kind of guy...

So you want troops to go to war and then **** them if they get harmed...

And Trump is your guy...

Trump hates the military as well. Suckers and losers was his description.He cancelled on a memorial service in case his hair got wet.

 

[TNHarley]

It is not the case here

What is the deadline for it?

 

[Dirk the Daring]

Ok. A simple google search later...

Blindsided veterans erupt in fury after Senate GOP tanks toxic burn pit bill

The widely supported bipartisan measure, PACT Act, looked to expand medical coverage for millions of combatants exposed to toxic burn pits during their service.

Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Penn., who voted against the legislation in June, has remained vocally critical of the bill. Yesterday, after the vote, he said that the bill included a “budget gimmick" that moved $400 billion over 10 years from “discretionary to the mandatory spending category,” which he considered unreasonable. His view did not change in Wednesday's vote.

The views of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., certainly did, however.

Johnson voted for the bill in June, but voted against it on Wednesday. He said in a statement that the bill “opens the door for more reckless government spending."

Did any of them care about the cost when we were sending our troops to Iraq in the first place?

Nope

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Nope

Then they really do not care now and are just doing their best not to give the Dems anything they could call a win. Just politics as normal, party before country.

And yet here are Republicans voting against help for sick vets and calling money for the VA "pork"

Dems pull this crap before every election.

Dem's care so much for our troops, Pelosi tried to piss off the Turks to stop our troop supply lines going into Iraq.

Pelosi's judgment questioned over Armenia issue

I just took it as they didnt want another bottomless welfare money pit.
They voted for it before they changed it.
They could be lying but their excuse is a damn good one.

What is the deadline for it?

It’s a ten year spending bill

Keep up

 

[theHawk]

Pay attention.

Republicans voted down a bill that would help victims of burn pits

Why do Trumper/Republicans post on issues they know nothing about?

What “burn pits”? What victims? What injuries do they have? Why wouldn’t the VA be able to treat them for any service related injuries already?

so 10 years for a bottomless money pit.
Why couldnt they have left it the same and just made legislation when they needed more funds?

It’s hard enough to get Republicans to fund THIS

Look at you trying desperately to find a way to justify this

They had no problem with it when it had a set amount of funding.
