    Okay but have you considered letting them die on the streets at home when they don’t have the courtesy to die in the foreign countries we ship them off to?

      Veterans, so I would assume a large portion need stuff like wheelchairs and expensive aids.

      14k per person. Health insurance can be upwards of 1k a month, sadly, so this honestly doesn’t seem far off.

        I missed a zero and thought it was 142k at first. Even still, it feels like $100mil should help more people than that. Kinda wild how expensive healthcare is :(

        Insurance isn’t health care. Government pays direct without (much) markup.

    GOP: We support our Troops! *
    Also GOP: Fuck our veterans!

    * “Troops” in this context means "defense contractors".

    yeah, but Drumpf needs his ego stroked. He’s an insecure little man. Vets don’t need healthcare. Just because they served their country, doesn’t mean tey can he freeloaders /s

    This is the kind of messaging we should be focusing on. “Look at how this money could be helping you!” People only understand things that affect them directly.

    Identify voting blocks. Identify what would directly impact them. Broadcast to that group constantly in a medium and manner in line with their culture. Thank you OP. Keep it up
