"The U.S. #DepartmentOfVeteransAffairs, as of Thursday, has ended a new #mortgage-rescue program that so far has helped about 20,000 veterans avoid #foreclosure and keep their homes.

The move leaves millions of military #veterans with far worse options than most other American homeowners if they run into trouble paying their home loans. And it comes at a time when nearly 90,000 #VA loans are seriously past due, with 33,000 of those already in the foreclosure process, according to the data and analytics firm ICE."

FAFO. It's one thing for these fascist politicians to mess with the poor people in the general population. It is another thing, to make the men and women who have fought in your wars desperate and angry. What does a warrior do when they have no home, no money, and no hope? If these fascists want to survive, they better take good care of their veterans, or the veterans will take care of them.

Even a dog is smart enough to know if the hand is beating it or feeding it.
