The Senate voted Tuesday night to pass a long-sought bipartisan legislation to expand health care benefits for millions of veterans exposed to toxic burn pits during their military service, sending the bill to President Joe Biden to sign into law. The final vote was 86-11.
Passage of the bill marks the end of a lengthy fight to get the legislation through Congress, as veterans and their advocates had been demonstrating on Capitol Hill for days. Many veterans were allowed into the Senate gallery to watch the final vote on Tuesday evening.
You must be aware of what went on around the passage of this bill... a Bill that 1st passed the Senate a few months back I think the vote was 84 - 14 .... And then it had to be sent back to the House for some wording changes, and when it returned to the Senate many of the GOP senators that votes to pass the bill - last week voted against it. Saying that the Democrats had added $400 Billion dollars to the bill in kinda a slush fund / Pork as they say - totally unrelated to the Act that is intended to help Veterans and their families that are affected by what they call "Toxic Burn pits" - that date back to the Vietnam era thru the wars in the mid east.
SO - as I say....
if you are a Right Wing conservative / Republican ... let me ask you this...... and it's only one answer.
Are you :
A) pissed that The GOP senators that were high five-ing and fist bumping as they celebrated the Bills defeat last week, LIED TO YOU. LIED TO YOUR FACE - that there was no added money, NO PORK added to the bill.. That they Simply LIED about it. And you then defended them.... so you look like an Asshole.
OR
B) You are Pissed today that they passed the Bill - With the (well not really) $400 Billion slush fund attached.
It can only be one of those - right!!??
