Newsflash: Senate Republicans Block Benefits to Homeless Women Veterans : Ms Magazine Blog
Senate conservatives blocked the Homeless Women Veterans and Homeless Veterans with Children Act on Tuesday, following an objection from Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK, left), who spoke out in opposition to the bill. The $3.4 billion bill, introduced by Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), would have provided special benefits to homeless women veterans (as well as to homeless male veterans with dependent children). The defeat comes at a time when homelessness among women veterans has dramatically increased. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the number of homeless women veterans has nearly doubled over the past ten years. The trend is even more apparent among homeless veterans under 45; one in ten is a woman. Whats more, the increase in the number of homeless women veterans has coincided with a drop in homelessness among their male counterparts, according to Peter Dougherty, director of homeless veterans programs at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Why don't these alleged homeless women vets go back to where they lived before they joined the service? There are people who will do anything and say anything to partake of the slop at the taxpayer trough, even lie about their living conditions to obtain their imagined "slice of the pie." Those women who volunteered to serve their country are no more entitled to rob the public coffers than anyone else is, and these alleged "residentially challenged" females are no more honorable than the general public, which has a bad record of cheating and swindling the taxpayers for all they can.
The middle class exists only as "cannon fodder" for the rich. I thought that was understood.

It isn't nice to call people such names simply because you disagree with them. Why are you so angry? Are you incapable of grasping the truth that these females had a home before they joined up, then it must follow that those homes would still be available. Do you have some reason why they wouldn't, in fact, still be there?
Lasher is a terrible demogogue. He uses the undersell soft soap approach, but he is virulent. The female veterans stood up for him, but he is unwilling to stand up for them. Plus the antisemitism in his signature reeks.
We know all we need to know about Lasher; he is here only for grins and chuckles.

What you are saying makes no sense, just because they had a home before they enlisted it does not mean that place will still be available.

No, it is what you are saying that makes no sense. Why in the world should their homes they left before enlisting not still be available? Does it make sense to you that while they were away from their homes for a short period of time, those homes would disappear in the interim?

Short period of time? these enlistments are between 4 to 6 years jack ass, and some of them probably have stayed longer, how are they going to keep a place open in their home of record for that long when they are not even living there retard?
Lasher is clearly mentally ill. He can't reason at all.

Are they all orphans with no families? They are mighty young to be without anyone to take them in, such as parents, spouses, friends with privileges, etc. Why do you assume they will have nowhere to turn? Oh, calling me jackass, retard and cuckoo doesn't reinforce your ideas at all, old sport.
Welcome to the freak show. Get used to it, you will see a dozen "republicans want to kill or starve or deprive" (pick a victim) every month until the election in 2012. It's an old cheap hate-filled political trick courtesy of the ignorant left.
Since when did Liberals ever give a shit about veterans?
