ALL BUT TWO REPUBLICANS VOTE AGAINST INCREASED BENEFITS FOR VETERANS

Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., stands in defeat
WASHINGTON (AP) — Just a reminder during these election times. Remember it was a Republican majority Senate that derailed Democratic legislation that would have provided $21 billion for medical, education and job-training benefits for the nation’s veterans.

And they call themselves Patriots..

…There are anywhere from two to four dozen members who don’t have an affirmative sense of governance. They can’t get to yes. They just can’t get to yes, and so they undermine the ability of the speaker to lead. And not only do they undermine the ability of the speaker to lead, but they undermine the entire Republican conference and also help to weaken the institution of Congress itself. That’s the reality.
