    House Veterans' Affairs Dems Retweeted The Last Word

    Why waste millions on @realDonaldTrump’s #militaryparade when we could fully fund @VeteransHealth, expand benefits to #BlueWaterNavy vets & pre 9/11 caregivers, & get homeless vets off the streets?

    WATCH: "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." @RepTimWalz says there's "absolutely no justification" for the Pentagon spending dollars on a military parade at Trump's request — instead, save the money and give the people of the armed forces a raise. #LastWord pic.twitter.com/hslDrt7ErV

        As a #Veteran myself I think the #MilitaryParade is utterly ridiculous & a waste of funds. We have #homeless #veterans on our streets every night. Without a permanent address many can’t apply for jobs and therefore remain homeless. But yet we have money to show off our #military

        Made me think of documentaries I have seen that included Hitler's military parades. I agree with you that the money could be more wisely spent to help our Veterans.

        The point is our veterans. The parade is going to honor our military, they could have already funded these other issues if they really cared about them. Cut the money out of something useless to our country.

        To me the point is we can honor our Veterans without spending large amounts of money on a parade, when it can be better used elsewhere. I personally, coming from a long line of Veterans, honor them all the time. Thank you for your service also.

        Ask the forces which they’d prefer: millions for a parade to boost Trump’s ego, or millions for veterans.

        Trump is an unbalanced, spoiled brat, draft-dodger giving orders to Generals. He can barely read, he’s betraying America and using it as a play thing, a toy to amuse himself with until he gets tired or is removed. #resistance #MuellerTime

        It makes NO SENSE at all. None. He needs psychological help. Where is Dr. Ronny Jackson? Please take Trump to the nearest psych ward. He’s having an episode. Please get him help. There is something wrong with him. He is spending OUR MONEY recklessly. He’s out of control. #Muellerpic.twitter.com/1XYMMoG5ex

        He wants to honor the military?? ( that's what he said, stop snickering). We have a Memorial and veterans holiday, we have an Armed Forces day. We DON"T have a military budget or adequate veteran care. Honor them with THAT!

        If he wants a military parade, he can use the leftover $$ from the inauguration fund for it.

        Dems, wake up. We're not going to stop the parade. Everybody loves a parade. Let's use it to get our message across: A "parade for good cause" at the same time in every village, town & city. Raise money for charity.

        As a disabled veteran, money needs to be spent to help disabled veterans get fed by meals-on-wheels that was defunded by the tax scam. Money needs to be spent on veterans' healthcare not a silly parade to glorify Trump. That is how I feel and for all the vets. ❤️Pamela & Walt

        Or, you know, we could realize that the money isn't sitting in a bank ready to use. Borrowing money to throw a parade is very Trumpy, but not very responsible. We are making ourselves vulnerable to the international bond holders.
