Honoring Our Veterans in 2010

Homelessness
2,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have so far received help
 from the Department of Veterans Affairs' homeless outreach program.

107,000 veterans are homeless on any given night,
 according to 2009 estimates from the Veterans Administration.

About one-third of homeless adult Americans are veterans,
 even though only about one-tenth of all adults are veterans.

Republicans seek Democratic allies in health care fight

Newly empowered congressional Republicans plan to chip away
 at the health care reform law next year – and they're hoping a
 handful of at-risk or moderate Senate Democrats will help them out.
Today, the co-chairs of the Deficit Commissions declared war on Social Security.
And it's not just Social Security they're going after. They're declaring war on Medicare
, the National Park Service and PBS, too.
