Obama’s America : Thousands of California Soldiers MUST Repay Enlistment Bonuses While ILLEGALS get Food Stamps

They get housing, free healthcare, food stamps, and assistance finding work.

All of these GOODIES are compliments of YOU – the American taxpayer.

However, on the flip side of things – homeless Americans and U.S. vets don’t have such a SWEETDEAL in Obama or Hillary’s America.

They get shafted.

Forgotten, and left to die on the streets or while waiting for help from a broken VA healthcare system.

And if that was not bad enough, now the government is adding insult toinjury by forcing California vets to repay enlistment bonuses DECADES after the war.

But again, illegals and refugees are living the high life on your tax dollar.

Why?

Because the military overwhelmingly votes “Republican,” so Obama and Hillary don’t give aCRAP about them.

True story.

Let that SINK IN.

From LA Times:

Short of troops to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan a decade ago, the California National Guard enticed thousands of soldiers withbonuses of $15,000 or more to reenlist and go to war.

Now the Pentagon is demanding themoney back.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers, many of whom served multiple combat tours, have been ordered to repay large enlistment bonuses — and slapped with interest charges, wage garnishments and tax liens if they refuse — after audits revealed widespread overpayments by the California Guard at the height of the wars last decade.

Investigations have determined that lack of oversight allowed for widespread fraud and mismanagement by California Guard officials under pressure to meet enlistment targets.

But soldiers say the military is reneging on 10-year-old agreements and imposing severe financial hardship on veterans whose only mistake was to acceptbonuses offered when the Pentagon needed to fill the ranks.

“Thesebonuses were used to keep people in,” said Christopher Van Meter, a 42-year-old former Army captain and Iraq veteran from Manteca, Calif., who says he refinanced his home mortgage to repay $25,000 in reenlistmentbonusesand $21,000 in student loan repayments that the Army says he should not have received. “People like me just got screwed.”

In Iraq, Van Meter was thrown from an armored vehicle turret — and later awarded a Purple Heart for his combat injuries — after the vehicle detonated a buried roadside bomb.

Susan Haley, a Los Angeles native and former Army master sergeant who deployed to Afghanistan in 2008, said she sends the Pentagon $650 a month — a quarter of her family’s income — to pay down $20,500 in bonuses that the Guard says were given to her improperly.

“I feel totally betrayed,” said Haley, 47, who served 26 years in the Army along with her husband and oldest son, a medic who lost a leg in combat in Afghanistan.

Haley, who now lives in Kempner, Texas, worries they may have to sell their house to repay the bonuses. “They’ll get theirmoney, but I want those years back,” she said, referring to her six-year reenlistment.
