Vet hiring - every vet hired if WPA revived..EVERY vet and..EVERY civilian too!

[sam11111]

We have waited too long for the Private Sector to do this. They never will hire all...they NEVER have. Joblessness drives wages down so they WANT joblessness. Sweden kept unemployment belo one% most of '60 to '90.

See my sig below for more...Current shortage of jobs data there

Refutes "get a job" taunt from GOP.

1. WPA would be the answer to unemployment

but we all know that the repukes would never vote for it. They don't give a damn about the American people. A bunch of selfish bastids. (and Ben Nelson and Lieberman, too!)

2. if just for vets...i wonder if public demand would force GOP to agree to it?

3. My father was a WWI Vet who worked for the WPA - It worked for so many then and it would work now!

It makes one wonder why the JOBS Bill or some other Bill has not been passed but we know the reason is the GOP is only after ONE job and this is President Obama's. It is truly something that history will look back on with disgust and wonderment.

4. Soooo, the government hires everyone.... and the money comes from... where?

This is a serious Econ 101 fail....
