Congress Passes Sweeping End-of-Year Bill Impacting 'Every Corner' of the Veteran Community

Thanks for the share

How about we just pass appropriation bills that are not catch-alls for the entire federal government.
That way, we have less opportunity to stash the kind of wasteful bullshit that is no doubt pervasive in this bill.

The legislative package, which lawmakers described as an end-of-year omnibus bill for veterans, is over 340 pages long and includes numerous provisions for female veterans, Native American veterans, homeless veterans, student veterans, veterans experiencing the effects of toxic exposures and those affected by the coronavirus.

Following the Senate's approval last week, the House passed the bill Wednesday afternoon by voice vote without any objections. It now heads to President Donald Trump's desk for his signature. The vote comes as Congress is wrapping up its 116th legislative session.
