Extract what the pork actually: Your summary doesn’t say.

What exactly is the pork and yes veterans do need quality health care which they are not receiving.

Whatever Feinstein’s motives, I don’t like the idea of asking the VA to fund veterans’ health care by playing landlord. If the land is no longer needed, declare it surplus and sell it, and let the rich neighbors pool their funds to preserve it.

But whatever the disposition of the land, it’s Congress’ job to fully fund care for veterans, and it’s the VA’s responsibility to properly allocate and monitor the use of those funds. Do say that veterans are beng deprived of care becase the VA can’t lease out its facilities is to let those folks off the hook.

There is still one hope that some brave soul will take up this cause and attempt to get Rambo's View stripped from this bill during the House-Senate conference. Democrats have already reneged, and reneged again, on campaign pledges to clean up the earmark swamp, and in any event aren't likely to rally against a powerful member of their own party. But if Republicans had a collective IQ of even 70, they'd be making this particularly offensive pork item a rallying cry that they could use to demonstrate a renewed commitment to spending reform.

Clean up the pork? (SNORT) Surely you jest, sir!

Folks if you do not know LA, this land is about as prime real estate as there is.
