VetVoice and the veterans’ jobless rate

So Congress has been in session for, what, three weeks and they haven’t reduced the jobless rate among veterans yet sez dicksmith? WTF?

Basically, the House majority has been engaging in political theater, instead of working on a jobs bill, as Veteran unemployment has increased to the highest rate in five years:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – More than 15 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans were unemployed in January, far higher than the national jobless rate and the highest since the government began collecting data on veterans in 2005, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday.

Can we just get one jobs bill, Mr. Speaker? Or at least start work on one? Before the already catastrophic rate of Veteran homelessness begins to increase exponentially?

Yeah, the problem just happened a few weeks ago, right? VoteVets has been pushing the Unicorn Shit Energy Solution with millions of dollars spent on uselss ads. They spent threw away millions on ads for Harry Reid, who was a draft dodger, using VoteVets’ own standard for Republicans who went to college instead of Vietnam. And just now they noticed jobless vets?

And the Reuters article is just plain silly. The highest rate of unemployed vets since 2005? Really? Five whole years? And how many of the five years did Republicans control Congress? Um, one.

Silly dicksmith, tricks are for prostitutes.

From another post in the same vein;

I’m not saying the new majority is responsible for Vets being homeless. But certainly this is a much more worthwhile and urgent cause than the political theater in which they have engaged thus far.

Political theater? Really? VoteVets, the manufacturers of the “Vietnam-era flak vests” issue wants to talk about political theater?
