Three options:
1. Vets tell the Democrats to pass the Republican bill.
2. Republicans send a stand alone bill for vets.
3. Don’t pass anything, and let the vets decide who to punish.
I prefer option #2, but let’s try both one and two.
4. If shutdown does run longer, those that can should adopt a vet and help ‘see them through’ until we get things straightened out.
