VetVoice: Republicans won’t help veterans
Yes, dicksmith is up to his old partisan rhetoric again at VetVoice – the non-partisan blog of the non-partisan VoteVets. He reports, like we did yesterday, that unemployment rates for young veterans is higher than the average American unemployment rates. Of course, he blames the current Republican-led Congress;
While the unemployment rate is 25% more than the general population, the current [Congress] has not passed one job creation bill. Not one.
Please name for me one “job creation bill” that the last Congress enacted. Or the Congress before that. In fact, tell me what Congress can do to “create jobs” beyond hiring larger staffs and expanding the number of government employees.
You’d think an organization which touts it’s connections to veterans would have spent a couple of bucks on lobbying for help for veterans rather than spend millions on the Senate campaign of Harry Reid, a draft dodger and perpetuating the cut and run from Iraq strategy for Zombie Murtha, a gigantic chicken shit coward.

“tell me what Congress can do to “create jobs” “. That’s easy, Jonn. Dicksmith wants them to pass O’s Stimulus, Part Deux, or is it Part Trois? You know, the stimulus that created the 2 million jobs per month we were promised, for this year’s “Recovery Summer”. Or, was that last year’s “Recovery Summer”?
I’ve been saying for years that it’s not the Government’s job to create jobs (outside of Government jobs), it’s job is to (among other things) create the environment for the private sector to create jobs. This means that the Government should keep rules and regulations and red tape to a minimum and keep the taxes non-hostile toward the job creating private sector.
It’s amazing how little people understand that.
Obama keeps giving speeches on how businesses need to do their share and hire people……..Um, just exactly how DO things work in your fantasy land, Barack?
UpNorth–no, last summer was, “recovery summer.” This summer is, “recovery bummber.” In 2009 it was, “green shoots.” Looks like any shoots the sprouted turned brown and died a long time ago.
“vet voice” We work harder to be more irrelevant day by day.
Republicans tend not to slash the DoD’s Budget IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR. How about their pay and benefits? oops. It kinda gets harder to defend the Dems when they do the OPPOSITE of what most Vets want.
