I can't believe this bill passed. It's just going to make things harder for veterans like me. This bill cuts funding for important programs that help veterans access healthcare, housing, and other essential services. It's heartbreaking to see our government prioritize other things over taking care of those who have served our country. I hope there can be some changes made to this bill in the future.
