How can our government come up with $900 billion for losers, but not $5 million for winners

by Robert L. Rosebrock, Co-Director, We the Veterans

Today, the front page headline story of “USA Today” reads, “Federal bailouts: A $900 billion umbrella.” The story detailed things that we already begrudgingly knew, such as how certain banking businesses got $50 and $60 billion, an insurance company got $85 billion, two mortgage backers got $200 billion, etc., eventually totaling an estimated $900 billion to bail out people who bought homes they couldn’t afford and companies that loaned them money they shouldn’t have lent.

Of course, we know who the federal government really is, and that’s none other than “We the People,” which represents honest hardworking individuals who play by the rules and are spending endless hours stuck in gridlocked traffic trying to get to their job to provide for their own families so that government can gouge more taxes from their paychecks to pay for the mistakes of others.

Think about this $900 billion that our government shelled out in a heartbeat to take care of people who couldn’t really afford the mortgage on their home and the businesses that coerced them into entering into an agreement they couldn’t honor.

Now, consider the Los Angeles National Veterans Home. Nearly 400 acres of land was donated to our government 120 years ago as a gift from Senator John P. Jones and Arcadia de Baker to provide a permanent Home for America’s Military Veterans to rehabilitate and heal from war.

Consider also that our U.S. Government does not have a mere $5 million dollars to meet the healthcare needs of our Veterans here, so they force the West LA VA to lease large parcels of land and numerous buildings to make up for the fabricated budget shortfall.

Never mind that there are an estimated 20,000 homeless Veterans in Los Angeles and this land could be used for a Tent City and the buildings used to domicile those who need shelter and rehabilitation so they can re-enter into society as proud winners in defending our nation’s safety and well-being.  After all, this is their “Home,” just as it states six different times in the Deed of 1888.  So why is there ever a “homeless Veteran” if this is their rightful home?

Remember, the government came up with $900 billion at the snap of the finger for business losers, but a mere $5 million cannot be found anywhere for the winners of freedom, even by Henry Waxman, who’s been in office 35 years and considered one of our nation’s most powerful members of congress.

Waxman’s 30th District encompasses the largest VA in the nation with more than one million Veterans living within 50 miles, yet he cannot find a paltry $5 million for our Veterans healthcare needs, but he has no problem signing off on $900 billion to give people and businesses who are incompetent at managing their affairs.

So who is kidding who here?  Look, if people bought a house and cannot pay for it, then why doesn’t our government demand that they rent out their yard, bedrooms, kitchen, garage, etc., to pay for their short-funded situation the way it forces the VA to lease out Veterans land and buildings?

And how about renting out the front lawn of the White House and the Rose Garden, not to mention a couple of floors of empty rooms to help subsidize its upkeep?  If we cannot respect the National Home of those who defend our country’s freedom, safety, and independence, then why respect the White House that is supposed to be the world symbol of the American way of life?

And why stop there; how about Congressman Waxman and Senator Feinstein leasing out some of the offices and parking spaces of their government-funded facilities here in L.A. and Washington D.C. to subsidize the upkeep?

It would be a cold day in hell before that would ever happen, yet every warm and sunny day in Los Angeles our Veterans are forced to give up the privacy and quietude of their National Home to make up for our government’s inability to find and fund just $5 million.

Are Veterans going to continue to let heartless politicians lie to us and say “there’s no money for Veterans healthcare,” while these same politicians gloriously spend hundreds of billions of dollars to bail out losers?

Remember; there’s $900 billion for defunct businesses and irresponsible home buyers but not $5 million for America’s Military Veterans and their healthcare needs. Now if our government cannot provide healthcare services for a small number of Veterans here in Los Angeles, how can it possibly provide universal healthcare services for more than 300 million of our nation’s citizenry?

Stop this madness and join the “Veterans Revolution.” Show up on October 5th at the corner of Wilshire and San Vicente Boulevards as we Rally together to take back our hallowed land and demand that the Veterans’ “Declaration of Enforcement” become an Amendment to the Deed of 1888 so that we can permanently protect and preserve the National Home Land from irresponsible politicians.

Help us evict all of the non-Veteran invaders and occupiers of this sacred and revered land.  Join us in solidarity as we demand: No public park for one of the wealthiest Zip codes in the nation; no athletic field for one the nation’s most expensive private schools; no parking lot for the nation’s biggest rental-car agency; no Hollywood entertainment company using Veterans theaters for private movie screenings, plays, operas and symphonies for the high muckety-muck, and no oil-well digging on this sacred land by wealthy oil companies.

Join the Veterans Revolution and “Save Our Veterans Land.”

We’ll see you, your family and friends on Sunday, October 5th, 12 – 4 PM.
