Unfortunately in all of their vague complaining, they didn't cite exactly what bill, or which form of the bill THEY CLAIM the guy voted for. When I tried to ask for specifics, the guy who organized the event (who was not a veteran but the leader of a local anti-war group) couldn't give me a straight answer.

Believe me, I tried to get a straight answer from them.

What I do know, is that the bill that passed in the House (with his vote) provided close to a four-billion dollar increase in Veterans' benefits spending.

I'm told, and I admittedly haven't looked into the Senate version myself, but I'm told that the Senate version of the budget provides a pretty similar increase in that particular department. So it's not likely that they somehow mistook one House of Congress for the other.
