Wall Street Execs should donate 100% of their bonuses to help Vets get health care

From Bloomberg news, Wall Street bonuses are up 60% vs 2008:

The firms -- the three biggest banks to exit the Troubled Asset Relief Program -- will hand out $29.7 billion in bonuses, according to analysts’ estimates.

The big banks continue to get free money from us in the form of 0% Fed Funds Rate, Federal Guarantees in various forms and other programs amounting to trillions of dollars a year most you aren't aware of. They are continuing to make mad money, taking the same risks they took before they blew up the economy and got bailed out, and are paying larger bonuses on top of that.

Vets, who have proudly served their country, die every day due to a lack of health care.

From a research team at Harvard Medical School, their study found:

A research team at Harvard Medical School estimates 2,266 U.S. military veterans under the age of 65 died last year because they lacked health insurance and thus had reduced access to care. That figure is more than 14 times the number of deaths (155) suffered by U.S. troops in Afghanistan in 2008, and more than twice as many as have died (911 as of Oct. 31) since the war began in 2001.

The solution?

The Bank Execs should donate 100% of their bonuses we helped them make to fund a Health Care System that would insure 100% of all Vets.

Vets deserve no less.
