Today is Veterans Day, where is the Jobs for Vets bill. [View all]

I have been writing my representative and senators about getting this bill passed. This is a shame the Senate voted this bill down, a group of people who have volunteered to serve our country, risking their lives and watching while others lost their lives and the repubs saw fit to vote this down, what are they thinking. And they brag most military are republican, give me a break. Our infrastructure is in need of repair and replacement and our veterans needs jobs, it is a win win situation and they sit dragging their feet mostly because it might give credit to Obama, he is not looking for credit, just to get a job done.
