Can someone give me a good explanation for why this happened? The libs are having a field day with this. I don’t know the good reasons for it but I want to counter their claims. We need it to be easy for libs and undecideds to understand. We need ammunition in this propaganda war.

I’d check the websites for the DAV, VFW, Legion, AMVETS and the like for the real story.

There are already six Veterans Job Training bills in effect, with supposedly noone monitoring them as to their effectiveness. So this would be additional money spent that we don’t have. In addition, this bill is considered unconstitutional because spending bills should originate in the House, not the Senate. Google Sam Coburn as I believe he put out a report last year as to how ineffective and costly the programs were. “The report follows last year’s groundbreaking study from the Government Accountability Office that found taxpayers are spending $18 billion on 47 duplicative job training programs across 9 federal agencies. GAO could not find evidence that any of the job training programs were working.”
