Bernie On Veterans Benefits

Posted on the 03 March 2014 by Jobsanger
This is some pretty good advice from Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. When you vote to send American citizens to war (any kind of war, even a ridiculous and unnecessary one), you have an obligation to help the veterans of those wars to access needed medical care, educational opportunities, and to find a decent job. Sanders has a bill pending in the Senate that would do that, but it is being blocked by Senate Republicans. Those Republicans were quick to send those citizens to war (and spend over a trillion dollars to do it), but now claim we don't have the money to help them. That is unacceptable -- especially since those same Republicans are now trying to pick a new war (with Iran).
