"Why don`t they spend that money on new Veterans Hospitals?" Because, in its final analysis, money is a figment of the imagination, just like the national debt is a figment of the imagination.
If THEY were to focus their efforts on helping veterans, it just might come out about how the whole money system is pulling the wool over the eyes of the whole unit known as the public of the world. Better that they let the veterans die than having their money schemes found out by the public.
