BREAKING: Senate Passes Bill Benefiting Veterans Exposed To Toxic Burn Pits

The Senate gave final approval to a bill Tuesday that expands health care benefits for veterans who became sick after being exposed to toxic burn pits, with dozens of Republican senators voting in support following outrage over the GOP torpedoing the bill in a vote last week.

Let’s hope the money goes to veterans.

wondering why anybody would vote no to it?

From one veteran to others, thank you for your service. Everyone gave some, and some gave it all to their country.

The pork alone should have stopped this.

[joe.oneill]

The Democrats attempt at loading this worthwhile bill with pork was thwarted. Schumer is noticeably silent about that, as usual.

[yvettestevens]

So the extra spending must have been changed. Good.

And why does the evil man have to speak we can do without his BS

[patriciawitt]

I sure hope they changed the bs slush fund before they voted

Just Grand. Most of it isn't going to Vet's.
Believe otherwise, U've been bought & sold.
