RUFUS - President Jay Laylin has proposed a bill funding homes for the homeless veterans he says have "flooded the streets of the United States Of Jesstopia," and who have "been unfairly treated by the veterans service department and veteran health care system." The President introduced a 65 billion dollar funding package that would work to end the veteran homeless population.
The President said it was a personal mission to ensure every single veteran who was homeless in this country, was given a safe and comfortable place to stay. He said that he wouldn't stop fighting hard for the people who fought so hard for our country.
"It is extremely important that we provide housing to our homeless veterans," said President Laylin. "They stood up for this country, from enemies foreign and domestic, risking their lives, families, and secured futures, for the defense of our nation. The previous administration failed to deliver results for veterans and today, over 2.6 million homeless vets line our country's streets. Its unacceptable and something needs to be done about it. I have proposed this funding bill to ensure that we, as a government, give veterans the homes they so desperately need right now."
The President said he hopes that when the 84th Congress resumes, they will quickly pass the funding package to start getting funding to housing organizations and start removing veterans off the streets.
"We owe it to them to provide them with repayment in the form of housing," continued the President. "This funding bill will allow us to provide them with housing, but not only that, access to cleaner living conditions. They sacrificed so much for us, so I feel this is my personal mission to ensure this spending bill gets approved."
The spending package includes free housing, and transportation to and from their medical appointments. It will also provide food allowances so that they can buy food for themselves. With Congress in recess, it isn't likely that they will see the funding go into effect any time soon. But there is hope. Members of the Nationalist Party, including Braden Harris and several others, have vowed to support the efforts of the President fairly, and openly. It is likely that a handful of Nationalists would be open to supporting the bill. But that is yet to be seen and there shouldn't be speculation to the same.
The bill includes 65 billion dollars of taxpayer money, so Congress is likely to sift through the fine print of the bill and breakdown each segment of the bill as the President proposed. This could take weeks if not months to come to a relatively bipartisan agreement. Only the future knows what's in store for this bill.
