SEN. BLUMENTHAL, REP. TAKANO: Congress can fund veterans’ care without taking benefits from disabled heroes

Sen. Blumenthal and Rep. Takano criticize Republicans for proposing cuts to disability benefits for veterans with tinnitus and sleep apnea to fund the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act. They argue alternative funding sources, such as unspent Department of Defense funds and tax adjustments for the top 0.1% income earners, could cover the legislation’s costs without harming disabled veterans.
