Really Rick Nolan? Again?
There’s no other way to slice it – Congressman Rick Nolan is out to radically slash benefits from members of the military and their families.
In case you missed it, Rick Nolan has submitted an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act calling for $60 BILLION in across-the-board budget cuts hitting everything from troop pay, to healthcare to military housing. As a reminder, Minnesota’s 8th district is home to more than 61,000 veterans (or 9% of the total population) and has 3 VA centers.
“Rick Nolan has once again turned his back on our Nation’s heroes. After dedicating their lives to service, Rick Nolan wants to reward veterans by indiscriminately cutting nearly 10% of the budget that provides everything from housing to healthcare. This is not acceptable.” — Alleigh Marré, NRCC Spokeswoman
