Just another example in a long list of examples of the two major parties playing games, trying to make the other look bad - at the expense of those who need them to settle their differences, and do the people's work.

Anyway, this was a cloture vote, and now there will be debate on the legislation as written.

The way I read it, it looks like an amendment was proposed by Sen Toomey - R due to a separate section of the package that “would authorize $400 billion over the next 10 years of existing spending". He wanted that $400 billion moved back to discretionary spending, which is subject to annual congressional appropriations, rather than mandatory spending, which is not subject to annual congressional appropriations.

Toomey asked for unanimous consent to change the mandatory spending language back to discretionary - and back to the original language supported by 84 Senators in June.

The Senate will continue debate/discussion on the bill.


“I support providing coverage to service members affected by burn pit exposure. Unfortunately, the bill as written includes an unnecessary provision that opens the door for more reckless government spending, unrelated to the VA. I voted no on cloture tonight to insist on having the ability to amend the bill to correct this.”

- Sen Ron Johnson - R

G1's no Republican.

Anyway, it was the Dems who F'd this one up - trying to change the language so that they can spend $400 billion on who knows what over the next 10 years, rather than stick to what was originally agreed upon.

LMAO!!

That's your tired go-to for every discussion. Must be the "trumpette clan" & STFU...

Anyway, it's not anyone's "trump party" giving the finger to Veterans. It's the Dems giving the finger to America with their willy nilly approach to spending. As a Veteran who was exposed to, and has friends who were exposed to burn pits, I would rather them get the bill right - and have it voted through for "only" its intended purpose. Those Veterans (and others) who are calling foul are just the loudest, they don't represent the majority.

This bill will pass, but only after the Dems are done playing games with the $$$.

LOL, how the hell do you represent the majority??? Thank you for your service (seriously) but screw you on your constant Dem this and Dem that. You and chico won't admit the republican party is the downfall of this country. Dems aren't saints and they get a ton of shit wrong but your blatant ignorance of what is going on is amazing . chico is just a fool but I expected more from you. You cry foul about Dem spending but ignore that the republicans come back with their own spending plans and that's what piss's republicans off now , Dems getting shit done when republicans couldn't. This country came to a complete stand still for 2 years due to a World Wide Pandemic not trumps fault or Bidens any deaf, dumb and blind person could see that prices were going to go threw the roof when we came out of this. Hell yeah Government spending went up , are you saying it wouldn't have gone up if the republican plan was approved??? Oil companies cut back production during the pandemic and still have not increased production to before pandemic output any moron knows this except chico. Dems are their own worst enemy but you should be happy that the Dem(rep) Manchin is there to block everything that the Dems could do to make things better. Yes spending is way up you think I like paying $5 for gas ? To ignore that this all started while you boy was in Office is hysterical and for fuck sake you all want him back, yeah STFU and JHC are about all that can be said!
