Coburn is blocking a bill that would provide new health care services for disabled veterans. This despite vets' strong support for the bill. Coburn is single-handedly preventing the bill from passing.
His excuse is that Congress won't cut other spending to pay for it. Then why don't we cut funding for all these wars - wars that Coburn's fellow Republicans generally support?
Why don't we cut some of Coburn's ridiculous earmarks that he's proposed in an attempt to make political hay?
And how can a Republican senator block a bill all by his lonesome when the Senate has a Democratic majority? The U.S. Senate must be the only legislative body in the world where the majority does not rule.
