Default Veterans Retraining Assistance Program

Nice to see they are passing a worthwhile program for a change, instead of giving themselves a raise again...

Congress passed, and the President has signed into law, the VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011. Included in this new law is the Veterans Retraining Assistance Program (VRAP). VRAP offers up to 12 months of training assistance to unemployed Veterans

First Lady and Jill Biden have worked tirelessly to give attention and further opportunity to veterans returning from the middle east. Lots of great new programs for them. All good, they certainly deserve more than they've been receiving

Nice to see Dems rebound from

'I loathe the military' Bill Clinton


to finally backing the military or at least military vets.

Dems still want defense spending cut in half

They are also detaining veterans and holding them for mental evaluations, taking their guns, etc.

So whatever. Those who research see through the BULLS.HIT that most of you continue to fall for.

And you want to increase it, cut taxes and then wonder why the debt increases.

No let us increase unemployment benefits to 5 yrs, keep gov. pensions the same or even increase them, build roads and rail to nowhere, hire more police firemen etc. and see how that works.

Then hope and pray (forget that) we don't get attacked, Israel be f'd. As long as our's are fat and lazy it's all good!

As far as the first part goes, why do you post something that was never suggested in my response to you and is against everything I stand for?

THe second part is Nascaresque and I'll pass as I think you may be celebrating a long weekend . Read it when you are sober and you'll probably agree with me.
