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.


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.
