Republicans want to cut benefits for 1.5 million disabled Veterans.

Gary, the subject line says it all.
At some point we left 2026 and fell into 1984. Republicans want to force a vote on the “Take Care of America’s Veterans Act” tomorrow. Yes, a bill about taking care of Veterans would, in fact, cut benefits for 1.5 million of them.
That bill would extend benefits to some of us, but eliminate them for others. The President of the United States has made $2.2 billion dollars since he took office. He gave millionaires and billionaires a trillion dollar tax break, and paid for it with a trillion dollar cut to Medicaid and food stamps. And now, they want to pit Veterans against fellow Veterans for the benefits we earned wearing the uniform.
