^ What are your thoughts on that Doc?

You want to know my thoughts on the flaming assclown overpaid worthless lump of pond scum politicians that would do such a thing, or on the legislation that escaped from the fetid dog crap that they call their brains that was then passed by the rest of them?

They stopped a bill that would give veteran benefits by cutting immigrant welfare, not the other way around like how you said in the title

what I read was

Sessions hoped to attach his amendment to the deal — which would have closed the loophole by requiring a Social Security number to claim the refundable portion of the child tax credit and restore military retirement benefits.

Sessions’ motion failed on a 46 to 54 party-line vote, with North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan crossing the aisle as the lone Democrat to vote with the Republicans.

“Reid’s majority just voted to keep pension cut for vets instead of cutting welfare payments to illegal aliens,” a Sessions aide emailed.

Evidently, I'm not the only one that read it that way.

Watch as Babette Maxwell, the founder of Military Spouse magazine, speaks out on behalf of veterans and their families in face of losing 'earned' benefits in this week's senate vote.

I love it when somebody drops into a thread, makes an unsupported accusation, then vanishes into the ether, never to answer a challenge to their statement.

I think there's a word for that, but what it is escapes me at the moment.
