Pact Act

Quote:That's fine if you only want to consider what one side says.

That may apply in this case, but didn't seem to me the GOP had a good excuse/reason/explanation to the people why they all the sudden flipped. Therefore, it was both easy for dems to play devils advocate to believe they did so out of anger due to inflation reduction act.

Quote:The other side says they were made aware of mandatory vs discretionary spending and so wanted to hold off and see if they could get an amendment passed.

Please educate me on this. Does mandatory mean all funding must be spent on Veterans and discretionary means funds can be taken from the VA as seen needed? If my meaning is correct, I 100% agree they should have voted it down until it was corrected because it becomes yet another means of hiding spending from the American people and wouldn't be going to the VA to help veterans.

Quote:Dems were of course riling up the sheep , so they dropped it and passed it.

I think both parties do this but the dems are extremely talented at it and also have the media to help drive home the rhetoric.
