Now you tell me why this is so different from stuff like the GI bill???
Well, for one,
An important provision of the G.I. Bill was low interest,
zero down payment home loans for servicemen, with more favorable terms for new construction compared to existing housing.
[21] This encouraged millions of American families to move out of urban apartments and into suburban homes...
The recipients
did not pay any income tax on the GI benefits, since they were not considered earned income.

Researchers at Brandeis University found that
the amount owed to descendants of a Black World War II veteran is $180,000. Adjusted for today's dollars, that's how much more white veterans got out of the GI Bill compared to Black veterans in 1944.
The disparity between what actually occurred/ was stolen and a funky little $25k is actually outrageous. No comparison whatsoever.
