How many were fired for not taking the Jab?
Toomey’s amendment “would ensure we do not just apply a financial Band-Aid to the problem but actually fix the underlying accounting issue. As written, the legislation would not just help America’s veterans as designed. It could also allow Democrats to effectively spend the same money twice and enable hundreds of billions in new, unrelated spending on the discretionary side of the federal budget.
“There is no excuse why the Democratic Leader should continue to block Senator Toomey’s commonsense amendment. A bill this important and this bipartisan deserves for us to fix this accounting gimmick, and then it deserves to become law.”
******************************************************************
Toomey’s right on this. The ‘RATS are trying to slip in an ability for hundreds of billions of new spending unrelated to veteran.
Blow it out your ass, Stewart, and tell your ‘RAT buddies to remove their Trojan Horse language.
Republicans “haven’t met a war they won’t sign up for and they haven’t met a veteran they won’t screw over....”
Yep...don’t normally agree with him but he is dead on in this case...
that guy looks like hes 102 years old...aged badly.
According to John Rich, Stewart should “stick your progress where the sun don’t shine.”
I am a Desert Storm Vet and this, just like Gulf War Illness/GWI/ Desert Storm Syndrome is a big cash cow for lots of people who don’t need it.
Great point. Throw a small bone onto the cause that we support in order to pass a gigantic ‘piggy bank’ for what democrats want.
Obama had the surge in Afghanistan.
The VA now gives disability benefits to all Vietnam Veterans via “presumptive” approval for Agent Orange.
Which means it doesn’t matter whether or not you were exposed. It’s “presumed” you were and a disability rating of some sort (not sure the %) will be paid.
I believe it now also applies to the “blue water Navy” - soldiers who never actually set foot in-country.
My Nam buddy says the same thing
So they will give billions to the ukraine and help them and there soldiers but won’t help our own. Oh they can’t get kick backs from helping out guys. The money has to go for what it’s supposed to.
Correct the CBO estimates when all said and done this bill could cost 750 billion- we dont have that money right now. Plus we know these kind of spending bills have little oversight and the way it is written opens the way for massive fraud.
So sick of that tired crap. These are veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan who are now fighting cancer. One idiot senator whose not running again decided to screw these veterans and make republicans look like jerks. Keep joking though.
Does Stewart actually think Fetterman will be any more pro-vet than Toomey??
“This gimmick allows $400B in spending completely unrelated to veterans care.”
Good for the pubbies to shoot it down. Jon Stewart has always been a shill for the democRATS.
John Stewart sounds like he’s another angry, unfunny “comedian,” just like Steve Colbert. I yearn for the days when comedians were funny and made you laugh.
