“Also not on there are significant other mandatory things. For example, we have veteran spending. We just voted on MILCON-VA. We have veteran spending based on burn pits and stuff that is about a $500 million or $600 million mandatory account. We have what we do with food stamps on the farm bill and other things that we categorize as mandatory but are a little bit more discretionary. My point is--and I don't want to take the gentleman's time; I will yield back--that you are putting up there stuff that we pretty much have to pay. Mr. Speaker, I yield back to the gentleman from Arizona.”
