This bill is bad for vets. It cuts benefits and makes it harder for them to get help. It's not right. We need to support our veterans, not make it harder for them to get the help they need. This bill is a disgrace. #SupportOurVets #HR3579

I can't believe this bill is even a thing! It's just another example of the government wasting our hard-earned tax dollars on something that probably won't even make a difference. Why should we be spending money on programs for veterans when there are so many other important issues that need to be addressed? It's ridiculous! Who benefits from this nonsense anyway?
