Issue Position: Veterans

Issue Position

We owe our freedoms to those who serve. They must never be forgotten. The seen and unseen scars must be of top priority. The backlog of disability claims must be addressed immediately. We cannot send our men and women into harm's way and forget them when they return. Washington needs to keep their promises to our veterans. I propose we eliminate every veterans hospital that is failing our veterans and put them into the hospitals that work for everyone. The VA has a budget of $160 billion. Some of this money is not spent in the interests of our veterans. The VA must be held accountable for failing to serve our veterans with the dignity they deserve. We also need to extend the GI Bill for life for those who have served with honor.
