BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SHEEHY. Mr. President, where was the Democrat outrage when 8,000 Active-Duty Reserve troops were unceremoniously and with no due process fired out of the military without benefits? Where was the outrage when thousands of first responders and police officers, firefighters, nurses, and doctors lost their employment because they had COVID vaccine hesitancy? There was no outrage, there was no call of betrayal under President Biden when all that happened.

The truth is, this bill is pro-veteran. It adds $6 billion to our veteran spending. It adds the largest pay increase for our warfighters in a generation. This is a pro-veteran bill.

Let's stop using veterans as political pawns and keep the government funded. Vote on Amendment No. 1274
