Which Veteran's Jobs bill? A quick search at opencongress.org shows 4 current for this year. http://www.opencongress.org/search/result?q=veterans+jobs+bill&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&search_congress[112]=112&search_bills=1&search_people=1&search_committees=1&search_issues=1&search_comments=1 three have been "introduced" and one passed on July 9th. The most recent - S.3457 - Veterans Jobs Corps Act of 2012 this may be why g) Authorization of Appropriations- (1) IN GENERAL- There is available without further appropriation to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to carry out this section, $1,000,000,000 for the period of fiscal years 2012 through 2017.

This kind of thing often happens due to "poison pill" amendments that ruin the bill. I'm sure if you looked at it, or read comments from those who voted against it, you'd find out why.

How would it have provided more jobs for veterans? How much did it cost? How is it going to get paid for? Reminder: $16 Trillion dollar debt... Oh, all answers lie within the Library of Congress.

What kind of riders were attached to the bill? That could have changed their mind

I don't have much interest in politics but I do vote and and I think people should have voted for this bill and not against. I can't make out why they voted against the bill. Maybe they were tired of false promises from the politicians. There cold be some major reason to it. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.
