David Roe: “Mr. Chairman, the best stimulus package is a diploma. Our children and their education deserve to be our highest…”

I think we all here share an objective to deal with the crisis of veteran suicide.

It is not a threat to the VA, it is a lifeline to the VA.

The VA is not meeting all the needs, otherwise the suicide rate would not be 20 a day and staying there.

But I am mindful of something Rahm Emanuel said when he was chief of staff to President Obama in 2009. He said you never let a serious crisis go to waste. I am afraid some of us are doing that here.
