For the third time, can someone show me where it says in the bill, there's a 400b blank check?

It doesn’t exist. Many here are merely parroting right-wing propaganda that they overheard on Fox “News” or gleaned from social media without ever having verified the claims that they unwittingly accepted.

Here’s the bill that’s stalled. It doesn’t mandate spending for anything other than matters relating to healthcare or compensation of veterans who’ve been rated for exposure to toxins.
