our veterans served the whole nation, not just the state so where's the federal $$$ for this???? While I think it's the state's and fed's obligation to make sure they have ALL of their needs taken care of, I believe the fed gov't should be spending more to ensure they aren't living in substandard conditions and don't have to worry about where they're going to live, receiving the best medical care or where their next meal will come from...

The Osama administration will say they have been supportive of vets and not decreased the overall budget, but that is not true. They have frozen the VA dollars while more and more vets need care which is the same thing as decreasing the VA budget, so as with most everything else they have touched, by far the worst care for vets in American history. America can't afford this president any longer
