$15 Mil To Go Towards Homelessness Among Veterans
Labor is awarding $15 million in efforts to combat homelessness among veterans. The department says 64 groups around the country are getting money to provide job training for homeless vets. The Washington Post quotes a senior Labor Department official as saying more job training grants will probably be awarded in the next couple of years. The administration has set a goal of ending veteran homelessness by 2015. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis says the number of homeless veterans in the country is now below 60,000.

They deserve it!!!
Ending veteran homelessness by 2015...yea most will be dead by then.
Should have given this a thought 40 years ago.
Maybe the government can do better with the current veterans. Especially with the medical treatment.
God Bless America.
$15 million dollars is the grand total value that our federal government employees (we call them over paid corrupt politicians) have placed on the lives of homeless veterans. $4.3. million dollars is the cost of a single (just one) predator drone like the one that just recently crashed here on the eastern shore while our military was watching us, the American citizens. Spying on us, the American citizens that have paid to build and fly these aircraft intended for the defense of Americans, but instead are now being used to spy on us. Why and who at the top with the power to do such a thing is responsible??? You know who! The point being, apparently all of our homeless veterans have a collective value to those politians of only $15 million dollars, less then the cost of(4 four) predator drones now sying on us. How many trillions have they given to foreign governments? How many trillions have they given to those in banking who've already stolen trillions from American pockets? How many millions have been given as bonuses this past year, not for their every year bloated saleries, but an additional bonus for a lousy non-job performance, NOT done? Alot more then the few dollars that they have reluctantly earmarked for vets, their families, their children, that are currently out of work and down on their luck, due to the piss poor non job performance done by the same greedy politicians who have filled their own pockets, filled the pockets of their friends and the corporations that fund their campaigns. They take what they want from Americans, when they want it (your tax dollars) and they give back ZIP. It's next to nothing and should be considered nothing. All of these families, men, women and their children who have served and protected our country, worth a measily value of less then 4 drones. If there were ever a need for change or revolt, this accounting shows the reasons clearly. Our federal government (all of them) are clearly unthankful, unpaatriotic traitors that are currently guiding our country to destruction. True Americans with concern for it's citizenry they are NOT.
The following are the wikipedia drone costs/production statistics, Quote:
Produced 1995–present Number built 360 (285 RQ-1, 75 MQ-1
Program cost US$2.38 billion (2011 only)
Unit cost US$4.03 million (2010)
Someone said they are lazy and don't want to work.
