Before our homeless vets get too excited about hearing the news on the House approval of the "Homes For Heroes" legislation that would provide a much needed and widely welcomed shot in the arm for resources currently available to veterans, better take a deep breath and prepare to spend a few more months under the underpass.

Last night on NBC News , their story was a bit lacking. So , I'll tell you what they won't tell you.
The American government goes to countries , like India , for example , to recruit students. Those picked , will get a 100 % free ride in getting an education.
