I don’t agree with it, but this is small potatoes as far as the federal budget is concerned. Too bad he won’t be increasing the funds to help veterans, like the Local Veteran Employment (LVER) and Disabled Veteran Outreach Program (DVOP) at the Department of Labor’s Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) or the Veterans Affairs (V.A.) Vocational Rehabilitation Program. Those programs are almost completely underfunded.
It may be small potatoes, but it spawns and perpetuates a whole new generation of leftists in love with big, dominating government. That is not good for a nation fundamentally built on rugged individualism, self-reliance and community spirit at the the small-town level.
