Republicans again show their disdain for those who served
Senate Republicans Shaft the Vets
Senate Republicans used a point of order to block passage of the Veteran’s Jobs Act that would have provided a modest $1 billion to hire veterans to tend federal lands or gain priority in hiring at police and fire departments. The bill was crafted with bipartisan support. Fifty-eight senators supported the bill, but Republicans put together the 40 votes needed to block its passage.
The phony-patriot, flag-waving, America-hating Republicans have no shame. It's exactly that way with all the wingnuts I know in my personal life; they never served and they couldn't care less about those who do.
