Greg, you are on target. What passes for news and/or journalism these days is beyond belief.

"Which begs the question: how much does our nation spend on veterans? Would you be surprised to learn that it's just 4 percent of our nation’s total federal budget in 2014 – about $154 billion? This includes spending on things like veteran’s benefits, hospital and medical care, housing, education, training, and rehabilitation and other benefits and services."

Which is owed to the veterans, unlike the spending on illegals.
