Summary: On Friday, 8,500 checks were given out to out to veterans by the Department of Veteran Affairs. These checks totaled $26 million. An additional 7,880 request for funds were made that would total $23.6 million. Veterans had been calling to the VA to process the applications faster because they were having to borrow money and in some cases drop out of school. The emergency funds program fixed this problem.
Analysis: When the veterans began to complain about the problems with the process of receiving their benefits, the VA was very good at coming up with a solution to appease the well deserving veterans. If everything goes as planned, every veteran will be served which is the right thing because every veteran deserves to be rewarded for the hard work they put into protecting our country.
Comment: I think the VA is doing a really good thing by making sure all veterans receive their benefits and receive them in a timely fashion. All the veterans are deserving and should be rewarded in this way for all of the hard work they dedicated to our country. However, I do think that this could add to our country's economic problems. It causes the government to spend even more money when they should be finding ways to save money.
