"As we celebrate America's independence this 4th of July, with a great military parade, not so much as a dime was spent on homeless veterans."
Although Sen. Maxine Waters recently introduced Bill HR 1856, Ending Homeless Act 2019, president Trump saw fit to spend millions in tax payers dollars on a military parade that didn't do anything to help the hundreds of thousands of veterans who are homeless across the country.
If the parade wasn't being used as a political pawn, the Trump administration might have been able to use the celebration in a more meanful way by offering made-in-America sponsorship opportunities as a means to help homeless vets, or a donation hotline such as 1(800) USA-VETS.
It could have been a win-win across party lines. Showcasing not only America's strength--but truly the spirit of our nation.
