Anger as Republicans block bill to help military veterans exposed to toxins
GuardianSEP 2022
The failure of this bill is a devastating betrayal of sick veterans by Republicans. Many of these lawmakers claim to be dedicated to veterans' issues and use veterans for shameless social media photo opportunities and campaign platforms - but they fail them when it really matters.
This is Democrat hysteria - this bill isn't dead yet. If Democrats permit the reasonable amendments Republican senators are requesting to prevent reckless spending and growth-killing regulation from making the veterans' situation worse, this bill can be fixed quickly and become law.
