I want to continue the theme that the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone) mentioned, the gentleman from Washington (Mr. McDermott), others, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi) earlier this week, Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago? And I think this theme particularly is reinforced when asking about veterans. Are veterans in this country today better off today than they were 4 years ago? And I think we will see as the evening goes on in the next 30, 40, 50 minutes or an hour, how the veterans really have been shortchanged by this administration, how the Veterans Administration does not work as well as it did. Our benefits to veterans are not nearly as adequate, never really generous, as they used to be.
