“Yes. Under mandatory spending. It is already being spent. The money is being spent. Otherwise, we would not have had the administration in the last year. I would just ask to make one additional point. Given all that technically, we have not met our commitments to our veterans. There is no need for a 50 percent increase in the funding on this bill, and we need to move it to the veterans. If there is a problem with that, then we need to prioritize somewhere else so that we meet what we need to do for our veterans.”
