Jon Tester: “TAPS applauds Senator Tester and his staff for this legislation which offers an increase to the Dependency and Indemnity…”

I think it is a very important piece of legislation.

There's plenty of examples of it. The Mission Act is a prime example. The fastest growing part of the V.A. budget. Why? Because we privatizing V.A. health care and its costing us more money, not less.

This has been a rubber stamp Congress so far.

It is always good to have you in front of the Committee.
