The House funded the VA at 1.5 Billion less than the VA Secretary requested. They want us to fight in these undeclared wars then refuse to take care of us.

I think that the Congress has to correct this, our country is obligated to our Veterans! Contact your Representatives and let them hear you.

But, it is 3.6 Billion dollar INCREASE from previous budgets. They cannot manage what they got before. Let's see what the President does. He has threatened to veto it.

House Republicans pass VA funding plan for fiscal 2016 | RallyPoint
