If you don't believe me you can read the text of it online, it's only a few pages long.

“Senator Toomey is asking for a fix to prevent the PACT ACT from being used to increase spending completely unrelated to veterans”  

Sounds reasonable to me.  He didn’t kill it, he didn’t shelve it.

The reason I've heard is that the Republicans want the money appropriated as discretionary so they can cut it later. It's a pretty weird thing for them to say if they claim to care about veterans, since the bill only covers veterans health care.
