The Hill | Using the VA MISSION Act to justify raising federal spending levels is bad for veterans, taxpayers
Ensuring veterans get the care and benefits they earned is a critical part of the social contract our country has made with those who put their lives on the line in our defense. It is therefore vital to our national security to have a properly funded VA. But there is a difference between providing the resources the VA needs to accomplish its mission and raising federal budget levels to spend billions more on the VA without a meaningful assessment of whether those additional funds are needed.
Unfortunately, Congress has too often taken the latter approach, to the detriment of veterans and American taxpayers alike.
