Tammy Duckworth: “Our Veterans and our military families deserve better than this. If you want to spend this kind of money on this arch…”

“Our Veterans and our military families deserve better than this. If you want to spend this kind of money on this arch, let’s take that money and spend it on something that really matters. Let’s spend it on DoD schools so our military kids have a good education. Let’s take that money and give it to our Veterans that are dying, waiting in line to get into the VA, because this president has committed to firing 83,000 employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs so that he can deny Veterans access to the VA. Let’s put this money into funding more mental health experts to serve and care for our Veterans with post-traumatic stress…As long as I’m alive, as long as I’m here, I’m going to fight to defend our Veterans, our military families and our military and men and women in uniform.”
