Congresswoman Thelma Drake (VA-02)FLOOR SPEECH
Mr. Speaker, this is day 40. That is 40 days, so far, that our veterans have not had the use of the increased funding for their benefits and health care. That is $18.5 million a day not able to be used.
One thing our Veterans have always asked for is that we pass their bill by October 1. This bill has been done for months.
With Veteran’s Day quickly approaching, the Democratic Leadership put our veterans aside to consider billions in bloated domestic spending instead of bringing a clean Veterans bill to the floor.
I’m standing with our Veterans and I call on all Americans to contact their Representatives to tell the Democratic Leadership to send a clean Veterans Appropriations bill to the President now.
Oh yes indeedy! And none of those unreadable, impractical, and should be outlawed Omnibus bills, either.
Do your jobs, people.
