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

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

How funny. The Republicans who signed off on Trump's $8 trillion of debt are suddenly worried about too much spending.

Hypocrites. I'm sick of 'em.

Trump didn't write the bill. They share the blame.

Trump Proposes a Record $4.75 Trillion Budget (Published 2019)

The president’s budget request for the 2020 fiscal year has little chance of becoming law because Congress controls spending, and Democrats control the House.

Is it more disrespectful to take a knee or to deny cancer treatment to vets ?

One thing the supporters of this action to defeat the bill should know. I don't EVER want to hear about how a kneeling athlete is spitting on our veterans and those who died serving. At least the athlete has the dignity to kneel quietly. He does not refuse them the care they were promised. He does not shit on their sacrifice by telling them they are on their own, despite that the illnesses are directly related to their service.

You either support our veterans or you don't. Those that voted 'No' on this don't.

You have to pay for a veteran to have treatment for something that happened to him when he was serving us all. Yes.

Its funny how, when they want war, there is no problem with the money spent on bombs, tanks, planes and the like. But when it comes time to take care of the most valuable asset the military has, now it costs too much? No.

If someone steps up to serve, and is injured or wounded during that service, I expect the military to do all they can to make that soldier right.

I saw my father-in-law suffer for years because the VA didn't help with his exposure to Agent Orange. They knew it was killing veterans. They just hoped they would all die before it cost them any money.
