The average height of the American male is 5' 9" and @rod is 5'11".
Attacking a Veteran because you don't have the intellect to make any points.
Figures you two would take to Personal Attacks ... reflects y'all's pathetic personalities.
All the little guy does is attack others. Veteran or not, if you can't take it, don't dish it out.

Could you cite where Republicans simply said it "cost too much" since you've got that in quotations?

Republican amendments failed but it sounds like their related concerns might have been legitimate.


"Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania had been one of the Republicans holding up the bill as he demanded a vote on his amendment to add spending guardrails to ensure some of the massive package costing $280 billion over 10 years could not be spent on "completely unrelated programs." Democrats disputed Toomey's characterization, saying the money would be spent only on veterans.

"I'm supposed to trust this and future Congresses not to go on a spending spree? Seriously? That's unbelievable," Toomey said before the vote. "Why did they design this feature so that they could go on a spending spree?"

Has there been abuse of the PACT Act? Was it needed legislation?
