Typical left wing tactic. Oppose a spending bill and you hate veterans.
The truth against woody the hypocrite. kentay
The bill's sponsor, Patty Murray of Washington, said that shouldn't matter, since the bill's cost was fully offset by new revenues. She said Mr. Sessions and his party colleagues had been furiously generating excuses to oppose the bill, and were now exploiting a technicality to deny thousands of veterans a shot at getting hired as police officers, firefighters and parks workers, among other things.
The bill needed 60 votes to advance. The final tally was 58 to 40, and all 40 opponents of the proposal were Republicans.
As proposals go, this should have been a no-brainer. The Veterans Job Corps Act of 2012, sponsored by Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), sought to lower unemployment among military veterans, giving grants to federal, state, and local agencies, which in turn would hire veterans -- giving priority to those who served on or after 9/11 -- to work as first-responders and in conservation jobs at national parks
Republicans love wars they don't fight in, and while the war is going on they become so pious and say thank you for your service to all of those young people who volunteered, thinking it was for their country.. But for those veterans returning from war of service and back to their country, the thank you for your service changes to you're on your own. The Republicans voted to kill jobs specifically designated for returning Veterans even though the bill cost was fully offset by new revenues. These same tired old Republicans are the ones who voted for two war with a cost of 2-4 trillion dollars, not paid for and they placed it on future generations credit card. Republicans have really worked at becoming, two face master Hypercritics of the highest order. kentay
