Mr. Speaker, meet Celly, a constituent of mine living in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. He is an Army veteran and a cancer survivor, and he has received 100 percent disabled veterans benefits due to his trauma as he was serving for us in the service. He is currently enrolled in a VA program to become a paralegal. Celly called my office because he was worried. He was concerned that the veterans benefits that he relies upon could be snatched away by the Republican default. That is a real possibility. His VA benefits cover his rent, his medication, and his treatments. ____________________
