Mark Takano: “Have my colleagues across the aisle proposed a plan to leadership to address these additional funds needed by the VA?…”

“Have my colleagues across the aisle proposed a plan to leadership to address these additional funds needed by the VA? No. Of course not. My Republican colleagues would rather point fingers under the guise of accountability than legislate. In the process, my colleagues are shortchanging veterans. Why do my colleagues insist on wasting time? We are wasting time voting today on a CR we know will not pass and will never become law, and we are wasting time by not doing our jobs and prioritizing funding for the VA. Mr. Speaker, we have the opportunity to stand with veterans and fix this now.”
