500,000 unemployed vets

[sealybobo]

Why are so many vets unemployed? Republicans like to say anyone who doesn't have a job is a slacker. Do they say that about the half million vets who can't find a job?

Why aren't corporations hiring these people?

Maybe it's not as easy as Republicans suggest. Do they tell the vets they're just being whiners? Do Republicans tell the vets to go back to school or just start their own business?

I want to hear Republicans give these vets the same advice you give Democrats who say they can't find a good job or any job at all.

Let's see if Republicans can keep from disrespecting the 500,000 vets who can't find a job.

And corporations need to hire vets first. That should be a policy.

I am reminded constantly that this is Obama economy. Ask him why veterans don't have jobs.

If you won't give him credit for the good why do you blame him for the bad?

Do you want the government to regulate that companies hire vets or are you a libertarian who says let the free market decide?

And I asked you. You don't have any real answers? Go back to sports.

That's not enough. You praise them but won't hire them? Shameful

Depends what Liberty looks like...

Oblama has increased assistance to homeless vets, but it is up to the veterans to get the help they need...

Obama’s Veterans Day message focuses on jobs

At Arlington Cemetery, Obama asks American employers to 'hire a vet'

Obama: Want the job done? 'Hire a veteran'

Obama Pushing Jobs For Unemployed Military Veterans

Obama promises veterans he’s ‘still not satisfied’ with VA health & jobs programs

Obama Asks for More Spending on Veterans

What has the REPUBLICAN-controlled congress done?

 

[Valerie]

there's encouraging employers to support veterans and then there's forcing corporations to hire veterans first...

how about our government should provide veterans with paid private blue cross blue shield premiums and let veterans out of the crappy tri care health network they are trapped into?

Ask Obama, it's his economy. So if veterans don't have jobs, ask Obama. Our company will hire veterans and prefer to hire veterans.

It's Obama's economy, it's his recovery, so what has he done? He has created job growth, he wants credit, he has got it.

Ask the veteran first...The president is the last person to identify why someone is not working....I never needed any president to get me a job......Never in 43 years...

Wouldn't you have to pay for that?

Why aren't companies hiring vets?

I don't want government to dictate who anyone hires or fires. I hear from you liberals that this is Obama's recovery and then you blame republicans. Pretty low from a drug dealer, who works under the table and doesn't pay taxes on the earnings. Maybe you could donate to veterans instead of blaming others.

Every month we hear how Obama is creating jobs. Why can't he create jobs for veterans, since he can create jobs out of thin air. What a great guy.

You Republicans love to talk about the real unemployment number because people have given up. Many of these long term unemployed are vets.

And companies aren't hiring the long term unemployed.

So what advice would you give the vets?

And what would rubio or Christie do?

We know Rand Paul would do nothing. He'd just let the free market decide.
