Hey, I know about the veterans bill, the GOP said it was flawed like most of the bills that are pushed thru without doing the math, IE Obamacare
Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma said the federal government already has six job-training programs for veterans and there is no way to know how well they are working. He argued that making progress on the country's debt was the best way to help veterans in the long-term.
"We ought to do nothing now that makes the problem worse for our kids and grandkids," Coburn said.
Democratic officials did not have an estimate for how many veterans would be hired as a result of the legislation. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said much would depend upon the number of applicants. She noted that more than 720,000 veterans are unemployed across the nation, including 220,000 veterans who have served since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. She said putting veterans back to work was the cost of war.
I think Murray should have had a better plan for getting the bill passed when it was going to push the budget past agreed upon limits....
Or are you of the mind set off throwing money at everything and feel good about it, regardless if it works or not?
Maybe you should look at what the VA head is in trouble for and that the GOP is calling for his job and the democrats are still supporting him?
