GOP senators give vets the boot

GOP senators took another turn against those that helped defend it this week. As someone who while spending 20 years in the military saw my educational benefits cut in half, lose part of my housing benefit, and after retiring, watch as VA medical facilities get hard to use due to war injuries and fewer doctors, I thought I had seen Congress turn their back on vets quite a lot. But this week, GOP senators hit a new low in filibustering a bill that would allot money to help returning vets from Iraq and Afghanistan find jobs. But in their effort to ensure that President Obama would have no victory in trying to lower the unemployment rate, 4 GOP senators said no to this bill. So while 58 senators voted yes, the GOP filibustered the bill, killing any chance to help vets find jobs. So what what made the 4 senators different from the other 38 who voted no? Easy, for 4 GOP senators helped write the bill, and then turned around a voted against it. It takes a blank mind and a black heart for any senator to do that to any bill, but it takes a different kind of evil to give hope to those that served this country and then turn their backs on them in such a crass political way. Soldiers are use to wearing boots, but these 4 GOP senators just showed their disdain for those that serve this country, giving vets the boot.
