Shinseki, noting that the plan would expand the scope of VA's efforts to fight homelessness. "In the past, VA focused largely on getting... read full review »

The message, according to some of the people in the room, was that if the groups do not like this idea, they need to come back with another way of saving or raising revenue for the VA. "I got the distinct impression that the only hope of this plan not being enacted is for an alternative plan to be developed that would generate the desired $540 million in revenue, " Cmdr. David Rehbein of the American Legion said in a written statement. But the chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs vowed Tuesday that the... read full review »

Made-up Quotes To start, the e-mail’s anonymous author offers no evidence to substantiate the disparaging remarks about veterans that he or she attributes to President Obama. White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told us that "these quotes are fabricated." Our own research backs that up. We searched news databases and turned up no news organization that has ever quoted Obama this way. We conclude that these quotes are simply made-up, and perhaps intended as satire. Update, Sept. 25: Long after we posted this article... read full review »

How the Media Work In the United States, the media are large businesses that are privately owned. Some television stations and newspapers (particularly smaller ones) are owned locally by families or by groups of investors. Many of the biggest stations and newspapers, however, are owned by large media corporations, which in turn, are often subsidiaries of enormous conglomerates. The concentration of ownership has been increasing. In 1981, 46 corporations controlled more than half the circulation and revenues of daily... read full review »

Effects of the Media on Politics Scholars once believed that the mass media have only a minimal effect on politics, but that view is now discredited. The media do make a difference. They have an impact on public opinion and on policymaking in a number of different ways. Several studies, for example, have demonstrated that the media play an important role in setting the policy agenda. The topics that get the most coverage in the media are the same ones that most people say are the "most important problems" facing the country... read full review »

Housing here is lousy. They require you to live in the dorms for at least 3 years, and yet the maintenance in the dorms is sub-standard at best. I haven't been able to take a hot shower in almost 2 weeks. This problem has been on-going since August. The problem has been mentioned numerous times, and yet nothing is done. I'm paying $450/mo to live in the dorms, and they can't even provide hot water. It's absolutely pathetic. read full review »

Reuters reports that 20% of the homeless in the United States are veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Homelessness in the United States increased significantly in the late 1970s and became an important political topic.[1] The number of homeless people further grew in the 1980s, as housing and social service cuts increased and the economy deteriorated. The United States government determined that somewhere between 200, 000 and 500, 000 Americans were then homeless.[2] The number of homeless is reported to have risen since that... read full review »

Written By Joshua Patton, Historically, the suicide rate in the military, or at least the Army, was lower than the national average. About three years ago, this began to invert so that the Army rate of suicide was significantly higher than the national average, a phenomenon I covered for this site some months ago. The suicide rate for active-duty soldiers (both full-time troops and guard and reserve soldiers serving on active-duty) has seemingly leveled off, according to numbers printed in USA Today eight less soldiers have taken their... read full review »

Some years ago (Summer into Fall 200&) I learned that a woman named Dorothy XXXX in the Financial Aid Dept was misappropriating federal funding.

Then some students, myself being one, received a bill for several thousand dollars. Upon refute of the billing inaccuracies of the college combined with the illegal activity of Dorothy XXXX, Dorothy XXXX... read full review »
