Senator Toomey Not A Friend Of Veterans
Senator Toomey not a friend of Veterans
Senator Toomey, (R-PA) wants people to believe that he cares about the one million veterans in Pennsylvania, but his votes in Washington tell a different story. He tries to take credit for helping veterans any chance he can get. I was reminded of that when he recently commended Philadelphia City Council for naming 2014 the Year Of The Veteran.
Senator Toomey actually tweeted on February 4, 2014: “Thanks to Philadelphia City Council for naming 2014 the “Year of the Veteran in Philadelphia”.
His latest trick has been making pleas to the public about the need to fix the disability claims at the Veterans Administration (VA). Why didn’t he try to fix this problem when he was a U.S. Congressman? Why is he now tuning in to this issue and trying to help? When Toomey left Congress is 2005, the VA’s backlog had grown to 485,000 because of a lack of resources. By 2013, it reached 900,000. Toomey consistently voted to cut the VA’s budget, and now he wonders why the backlog doubled!
Since Toomey’s tenure in the Senate, there were 6 appropriation bills that contained VA appropriations. (this includes the failed September 2013 appropriations bill that caused the shutdown). He voted against all of them. They are:
HR-2055 December 2011, HR-152 December 2012, HR-933 March 2013 (continuing appropriations for 2014)-did not become law, caused the shutdown), HR-2775 October 2013, HR-3547 January 2014. In addition, there was the Senate bill S.1629 The Vietnam agent orange appropriations to grant VA benefits to Naval personnel that Toomey said he was not aware of. Get real Toomey. You are part of the reason why there are problems in Washington.
In my opinion, Senator Toomey can care less about our veterans who fought the battles for Freedom. In his disgraceful thinking we veterans are a liability. Plus, not serving the American people as his office is charged with.
