I proudly voted against this budget resolution in the Committee on the Budget last week because it woefully underfunds veterans' health care. I am certainly in good company with the Disabled American Veterans, the Paralyzed Veterans of America, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and AMVETS. I will proudly stand up with these veterans in opposing in committee and on the floor an inadequate bill that will cut health care services for veterans.
