Or the House Democrats who ran that joint from 2006 until 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah, the number of homeless veterans is down from a peak of 400k to 131k in 2009 &#8211; was that the fault of Republicans, too? How about doing something instead of pointing fingers and ignoring statistics, there, dicksmith. You guys throw money at Harry Reid, a draft dodger by your own standards, why not throw it at homeless veterans instead.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;d like to see their accounting methods for determining who is a homeless veteran and who is not. If we&#8217;re busting them left and right here at TAH, is the VA even asking them if they&#8217;re really veterans?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank goodness that the Republicans took over the House last year or VetVoice&#8217;s dicksmith wouldn&#8217;t have &hellip; <a title=\"VetVoice and the homeless vet issue\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=25985\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">VetVoice and the homeless vet issue<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118,143],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-veterans-issues","category-veterans-affairs-department"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25985\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
