If you look at that "jobs" bill you'll see there are no jobs. It's for training for local public sector jobs. Right now local public sector jobs are not hiring as city, county, state budgets just don't have money.

Vets have a number of programs and in another thread on this topic it was pointed out that this bill duplicates already existing programs available to vets.

This is nothing but a "feel good" bill coming from Congress.
