Sure, screw the Vets, fund murdering more infants in the womb and deny funding for the wall.
The DC UniParty needs serious trimming in November!
Sometimes I wonder what the point is of the Republican Party. They behave little differently whether in power or out of power. For all intends and purposes, this is a Democrat Party spending bill.
I am going to go and puke now.
@#$%^&!
As a Vet who has excellent heath care through her VA, this annoys the heck outta me!
Even though we have 20 or so hospitals and clinics for Vets, we have so many vets that live far away from care, or those that have a hard time getting transportation when needed.
I’ll be calling Senator Ron Johnson, today! Jerks!
Really? How hard IS it to set priorities? Not taking care of your Wounded Warriors needs to be on TOP of everyone’s list! Grrrr!
(And I have no health issues to date; I’m on no meds, no physical ailments. I’m not worried about myself; I am worried about my fellow service members who are worse off than I am.)
More Jackassery.
There are only two ways Washington will ever be reformed.
The 1st is if it is nuked from orbit.
The 2nd is if it is nuked from orbit.
Chuckie gets his tunnel project.
Our Vets get screwed and
we get no wall funding.
Trump should veto.
I am tired of Democrats running the wheels in DC.
We did not vote for this crap.
Go to WH.gov and tell President Trump that we will not stand for this betrayal.
This bill is over 2330 pages and is supposed to be voted on today when only 4 traitors know what is in it.
Forget the wall, this is a fence, more money for drug war than wall
funding for PP
funding for sanctuary cities
funding for obamacare when we were promised repeal
etc, all crap
I am so disgusted and if Trump signs this it will make a liar out of him.
And RATs and RINOs want that. A 1.3 trillion dollar betrayal.
Expanding the caregiver funding to include pre- 9/11 veterans was something I was in DC this month to advocate for.
While the bean counters only see the cost, they do not take into account the savings of having an in-home caregiver ($19,000.00 per year) to a State Home ($50,000.00) to a nursing home ($200,000.00 or more). Not even taking into account the improved quality of life.
The only time the Democrats care if something is funded is when they are not the majority party. Unfortunately the same is true with the Republicans.
VETO this piece of Establishment Crap and continue with MAGA!
F’em.
Especially Ryan and McConnell.

Trump had better not sign this POS bill.....
But Planned Parenthood,sanctuary cities, and Obamacare
are fully funded by our tax-dollars plus credit from our Chinese bond holders. What a disaster. Jim Jordan, conservative from Ohio, says this is the worst budget bill he has ever seen, surpassing anything from the Obama years.
Email the President at whitehouse.org TODAY and tell him to VETO this horrible sell-out by Republican leaders in the House and Senate or conservatives will stay home in November.
Idiot reporter badly needs a copy editor to keep her from embarrassing herself with sentences like this:
“A deal collapsed Wednesday to include multiple Department of Veterans Affairs reforms in a spending bill that Congress formulated to prevent a government shutdown.”
Her journalism profs should have spent more time on structure and style than or social justice and advocacy.
Vets are always getting EF’d! I was promised Health Care for Life with my service but it was taken away from me via the implementation of means testing. Promise broken whether I need it or not!
Not expanding the Choice program will suck. I have been saved more than a few 8 hour round trips to the ABQ VA hospital with the program. Being able to get faster care only a few miles from home compared to an almost 200 mile drive one way is a blessing.
But they are expanding the H2-B visa program. And no money for the wall. If Trump signs this thing you can kiss the midterms goodbye.
