Those kids would have blankets if people didn't boycott companies like Wayfair who are providing mattresses and other objects to the border housing centers, and as for Meals on Wheels, it's not a federal program, as USA Today points out.

As for Veterans, I feel very bad that they're being dis-acknowledged by society, and I myself contribute to various Veteran associations to get people back on on their feet, and do think that they should be helped.

And as for National Parks and Monuments, at the rate they get visitors and at the rate that the parade will make money (as long as people spend at DC), it'll go back into the economy even stronger.
