Comments, in this report, like this:
"I don't know what our president is thinking," he says. "2015 is just three years away, and we've not made a dent in the homeless issue. And I'm afraid as the wars either wind down or continue, they're going to continue to come out more and more seriously damaged."
That say blatantly to continue what the country does, message to many of the fed and state representatives, nothing to extremely little, lead to reality answers like I use:
No Revenues = No Sacrifice = No Support = DeJa-Vu all over again!. Now a decade and counting, told to go shopping, use patriotic meme's and symbols of support and wave them flags, added to the previous decades of under funding the VA, while the peoples reps Still try and lay blame on the Agency, after rubber stamping wars and costs of and those represented cheer on these wars!While the wealthy and other investors garner their booty, still, from both and many have the chutz·pa to call themselves more patriotic{?} then others wrapped in those false flags, using false slogans and various cheap symbols of and then seek one day events or parades to wave all that patriotism, call it "Supporting the Troops", then go home and either ignore or forget about those that actually sacrificed for the country!
April 16, 2012 - Last year, the number of homeless U.S. veterans on a given night dropped 12 percent from the year before. But tens of thousands were still on the streets, and more could be joining them, as troops return from Afghanistan and Iraq. President Obama has vowed to end veterans' homelessness by 2015.
Homeless No More:

"And that's not to say that there won't be veterans and other individuals who become homeless over time," she says. "But we're creating a system that can quickly identify those folks and move them back into housing."
Marge says the project has cut the red tape that often discourages veterans from seeking help. Last year, 2,000 vets were housed here using federal vouchers that also pay for services, such as medical care and counseling. She says it even saves money.
"When somebody is sleeping outside, they may be using the emergency room for their health care," Marge says. "They may be cycling in and out of prisons, and that's very costly." read more>>>
Which also show the mindset of those we hire as our representatives, federal congressional and state legislators or the ones calling themselves and being touted as experts or expert spokespersons on All Issues.
As it says in one cut above:
She says it even saves money."When somebody is sleeping outside, they may be using the emergency room for their health care," Marge says. "They may be cycling in and out of prisons, and that's very costly."
Which is true about everything related to societies agencies and not funding them in the first place to run efficiently with only needed maintenance to keep up with or ahead of new technologies and better understanding in many fields which saves the society capital expenditures especially related to our brother and sister veterans and especially those sent into our wars of choice.
The decades long under funding of the Agency set up to fulfill the Countries not only obligation to our service to but their responsibility. As those mentioned above, the ones we hire, continue to lay blame on the Agency instead of doing their jobs and demanding the country sacrifice as the soldier and their families do, like this past decade, especially the earlier years of these two wars where rubber stamping costs and no-bid private contractors contracts, all off the books till the present executive administration, were the norm while little attention was paid to the veterans of not to mention the older veterans community, until finally the 110th and 111th congress, even with the rampant obstruction, and especially the present executive branch. When not fully funded it costs tons, millions to, in today's world, billions more to correct or upgrade systems and needs as to the results of our service to and especially the results of war, that should already have been in place and needing only tweaking upgrades which would save those same millions to billions.
It also shows why the Veteran is ignored when they come home and in the years and decades after, think PTSD, TBI's, Agent Orange, Suicides, Homelessness and much more, in the more recent Desert Storm soldiers and Gulf War Syndrome, and even more recent chronic illnesses from the burn pits in these theater, and many of the same as just mentioned. Thankfully the present Veterans Administration is doing what only a few before have tried to and the representatives have blocked or for political purposes passed only to cut after maintaining their jobs, this one, still underfunded, is fighting for Veterans on many issues especially to build the VA we should have always had and for the present Veterans!
And what do many in this country want, still not demanding they sacrifice:
The new 'magnetic ribbons' the 'parades', same results, but flag wavin 'parades' only last a few hours on one day not a couple of months till they blow off the vehicles or are removed by the owners of! Think 'Desert Storm' and 'Gulf War Syndrome', Ignored, after their 'Parades' and especially the NYC National Ticker Tape Parade!
