Biden’s Last Chance at Camp LeJeune Stimulus

October 6, 2023 by Andrew Straw Leave a Comment

America needs to get ready to fight an embittered and angry Trump presidency for 4 years.

If President Biden cannot keep his promise to Camp LeJeune veterans and their families after signing their law with such fanfare last year, he’s going to crash and burn.

You don’t let your DOJ betray the victims after promising those victims prompt, full justice. That’s like backstabbing your friends.

Camp LeJeune toxic water compensation involves over 100,000 Navy JAG claims at this point. WSJ says the average claim is for $10 million.

Doing the math, if DOJ and the Navy settled with everyone for that amount, it would cost $1 trillion from the Judgement Fund.

This is an easy way to inject stimulus into the economy (outside the federal budget) just as the Fed forces the economy into recession next year.

Only, this stimulus is not just dumping money from a helicopter out to everyone like the COVID relief, but is focused on alleviating many decades of suffering by patriots and their family members.

Biden has to see the Camp LeJeune Justice Act settlement for what it is. His last chance to inject stimulus and prevent a recession in his Election Year.

But he has to pay the victims NOW. Otherwise, say hello to Angry Trump Presidency #2.

About Andrew Straw

Andrew Straw is a person with disabilities who practiced disability law and engages in disability reform advocacy.  http://disability.andrewstraw.com/  Straw was a Virginia lawyer and has served as corporate counsel for billionaire Alan M.

Andrew Straw was born at Camp LeJeune, North Carolina, where his father was training as a U.S. Marine for his Vietnam duty.  Straw was thus poisoned on the first days of his life but was denied compensation and health care.  Straw v.

Cir. 2021).  Straw started a group for people born or poisoned there called Children of Camp LeJeune.  Congress voted to compensate people like Straw and his dead mother from the poisoning (S. 3373, Title VIII, Sec. 804).  This new law was passed in the U.S. House by 342-88 and the U.S. Senate by 86-11.  On August 10, 2022, it became Public Law 117-168, 136 Stat. 1802-1804.  

Straw has visited 16 countries and has lived in the United States, Italy, New Zealand, Turkey, and the Philippines.  Straw provided services to the Italian Foreign Ministry as a contractor and passed the written U.S. Foreign Service Officer Test in 1998.  For more information, Straw’s CV can be found at www.andrewstraw.com.  Straw has lived in the Philippines for a7 years, from June 2018 – present, studying disability access in that country, but may one day return to the United States when the disability human rights situation improves.
