However the speculation by some in this thread that this was about the amount of money for helping those affected by burn pits, or about limits to that amount, were obviously wrong.  It's about what I said it was about.  Other bills, and the procedures for passing them.

Did you even read the summary or the bill? It was exactly about treating troops affected by toxic burn pits as well as Vietnam vets affected by Agent Orange. There was also a bunch of language in it about money for medical treatment facilities and research and the VHA. 

Feel free to show us in the bill or the summary that it was not about treating troops but about passing other bills.

Sorry, missing antecedent above.
When I wrote "this was about", "this" was the temporary opposition to the bill by Republicans.  Not the bill itself.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
