Then why can't they write a bill that does that? Instead they try to attach extra money for God knows what? It's the way it always goes on both side. Write the damn bill for its intended purpose and leave the pork at the BBQ stand
They didn't attach extra money. Everything in that bill is for veterans. I posted the text. Go find some other bullshit talking point.
Republican Senators are freaking out because they know they fucked up. They found out real quick that screwing over injured American war veterans doesn't play well. So now they're promising to pass the bill this week. Chuck Schumer: “We’re going to give Senate Republicans another chance to do the right thing.” And when it DOES pass that will prove the lie that they blocked it because of "pork". They blocked it for one reason only: they got pissed that Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer agreed to an energy reconciliation bill. As Republican Senator Blackburn of Tennessee admitted they just didn't want to give Democrats legislative victories. ANTI-AMERICAN fuckwads is what Republicans are. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/01/senate-gop-veterans-bill-00049124
Breaking news: the Senate just passed the bill, 86-11. Gee, I thought they were so opposed to PORK? The scumbags were terrified into doing the right thing and had to abandon their lie.
