Patty Murray: “We must include the cost of caring for our veterans and families long after the fighting is over.”

This is theft from the American people, plain and simple.

These are funds Congress has delivered on a bipartisan basis and should be helping people—not cut off by a president more focused on building a ballroom than investing in families.

While Trump spends tax dollars on ads promoting himself, Congress needs to reassert its powers to help people, and it’s past time Republicans join us in that fight.

Tell Congress and the public what these interagency agreements actually cost taxpayers.
