WASHINGTON, DC – On May 4, Rep. Derrick Van Orden (WI-03) co-led a letter to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough alongside Rep. Jen Kiggans (VA-02) and 54 colleagues, in which they call out the Department’s “dishonest and shameless” lies regarding the Limit, Save, Grow Act.
"As a retired Navy SEAL, 100 percent service-connected veteran, Chairman of a Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee in Congress, and most importantly, someone who has actually read the bill, I am telling you that the Limit, Save, Grow Act sets a topline number for the entire federal budget,” said Van Orden. “It does not cut the VA budget. If the VA chooses to spend this money on a bloated bureaucracy instead of veterans' health care, we will hold them publicly accountable. They are fearmongering with our veterans and that is reprehensible.”
The Limit, Save, Grow Act ensures that overall discretionary spending is capped at the same level the federal government was operating under in December 2022 – just four months ago. Last year, President Biden praised these same funding levels for providing veterans with “world-class healthcare.”
