Congresswoman DeLauro Holds Press Conference Opposing Proposed Federal Cuts to Veterans Programs

Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro held a press conference at the West Haven Veterans Museum and Learning Center to highlight the impact of House Republicans’ proposed cuts to veterans’ programs.
A bill recently passed by House Republicans would delay a catastrophic default for less than a year on the condition that Congress agree to 10 years of drastic cuts and caps to the annual investments that families and veterans depend on.
Not only does this bill do nothing to protect veterans’ programs from these devastating cuts over the next decade, it also immediately rescinds $2 billion in funding to support veterans-putting veterans’ health and wellbeing at immediate risk by delaying access to health care and benefits they have earned.
Congresswoman DeLauro was joined by veterans’ advocates to highlight the importance of honoring our promise to the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend the United States and protecting veterans’ programs from harmful cuts.
