Comments on: Proposition 12: Veterans’ Bond Act of 2008 http://elmonteblog.com/2008/10/23/proposition-12-veterans-bond-act-of-2008/ Federal, State, and Local Politics Sun, 25 Apr 2010 20:11:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: clay http://elmonteblog.com/2008/10/23/proposition-12-veterans-bond-act-of-2008/comment-page-1/#comment-5387 clay Fri, 31 Oct 2008 05:29:44 +0000 http://elmonteblog.com/2008/10/23/proposition-12-veterans-bond-act-of-2008/#comment-5387 Most of you favored passing this proposition. I voted against this bond, because I didn't like how loose the expectations were with regard to how you qualify. I would like to see more specific requirements to reduce the amount of money we are borrowing. We should help the veterans buy homes, because we have so many empty homes for them to buy. But we should not open it up to just about every military member. Most of you favored passing this proposition.

Plus it is a lot of money just thrown away. If they serve the country that’s good for them and I guess us. I think it’s not even supposed to be in the voting ballet because if they went to war I think they shouldn’t even come back because in my religion it is a sin to take a life away from a human being or a living thing. So I say vote no on it and they could find jobs or let the government help them look for jobs. Make the veterans work their ass off just like we do in life.

I think as veterans they deserve a chance to get a house especially that it's hard to get homes in are economy right now so they deserve the extra help. The only problem I have with the bill is that it doesn't only restrict the benifits to only soldiers who have served in war because if the bill is passed every person who served in the military during time of war are able to recieve help I think that soldiers who have served in the war deserve more help because if everyone gets help they can run out of money to give to people who actually served in the war.

This would ensure a financial safety for our veterans. Everything that had to endure in some part of ther life dinies our history. They helped us, now its oue time to help them. This will give money to familes and veterans to help them start a new life. this is very important. Taking care of oue veterans is just one way of showing our respect to them.

I dont have anything against veterans or people who are currently serving the military. I believe that everyone has the home ownership dream, the average joe, the hard worker, the young adults. I dont think that we should take part in any bonds especially right now. We are deeply in debt and i dont think that adding to this debt will be any help to anyone. In my opinion i dont have any family thats gonna serve or has served the military. I myself cannot even join becauase of health issues. So really this proposition would not help me in any way. If anything it would make it harder for me in the future to own a house. I disagree with this prop, but maybe in a better future this could work. Maybe when we're not in such a financial hole.

But i don't fully agree with everything in this prop. Sure every veteran should have the chance to benefit from this, but it won't happen. Veterans who have never set foot on combat zones will get the benefits while some of the ones who risked their lives will be left with nothing. I would vote no on prop 12, and propose to have it rewritten so that only veterans eligible will be the ones who were actually in danger. Yes i believe that all veterans deserve the benefits from this prop, but who would you give the money to? The guy with the desk job or the soldier who held his own on foreign soil for months at a time?

The reason i choose this is because there are countless veterans who i see everyday on the streets who are homeless. Its almost a given that we should give back after all these men coming home might have no where to go if they dont have any familiy. With this prop they'd be able to get a start and rebuild there life if they are coming back to nothing. My grandfather served in the airfore during world war two. A bill like this would have made him starting his life over a lot earlyer. so..yes on twelve! I would vote yes on prop twelve.

Mainly, because it includes the word BOND, I mean yes, it may sound all good. I'm totally for helping our veterans out, but bond, means that the money is borrowed. We can't afford to keep borrowing money for everything. Plus, there are already federal laws in place to help veterans. It would be extremely nice to add to that in California, but to be completely honest, I believe that is the communities job to take care of our veterans. I've already some initiative taken with certain organizations like AMVETS, who sell used items to help American veterans. These people fought for us, to protect us, we should be the ones to honor them. Why rely on the government to do everything, when we know that half the time, they don't even do it the way we want it done. The families, friends, and community of these veterans should pull together to help provide for them and their families. Wouldn't that be more patriotic than borrowing money to fix our problems?

The veterans did alot for our country. and just throwing that program out the window just wouldnt be far for them. They fought for the us so i think the us owe these in some kind of way. i think people should stop thinking about them seleves some times and lend a helping help, even in the money issue the us is in now. 900million is a small price to pay, compared to what they been though. so yes on Prop 12. sharing is caring.
