Ugh, can you believe this crap? This bill, like, totally screws over veterans by only giving them a tiny cost-of-living adjustment. It's such a joke. They deserve so much more for their service and sacrifice. It's just not right. I can't believe they think this is enough. SMH. #VeteransDeserveBetter
