Romney Reveals his plans for Vets - ( )

(As pointed out by my main CoPolster on my flank (Rocco) ArapaGOP and his ilk failed to respond on Friday.)

Mitt Romney’s plan to help veterans is simple –        .

Yep. None.

And it appears that no plan exists on Romney’s campaign website to address various issues affecting the U.S. military – for example, veterans’ health care and unemployment or, as Obama addressed today, servicemembers’ education. The “Issues” page lists 23 separate issues Mitt Romney has apparently chosen to focus on during his presidential campaign and none is “Veterans” or “Military.”

Link below to the Issues page on Romney’s site is telling – ArapaGOP, can you please find either “Veterans” or “Military” on this page? Or is he going to fire them as well?

In fact, NO ONE riding around in the GOP Clowncar since January has uttered one self-serving peep about veterans issues. The word veteran does not appear in the Ryan “chainsaw” budget, though it’s affects will be clear – if you’re a homeless vet, get our your kit because if you were using VASH vouchers from the VA, you’re fired.

(Mitt especially likes this, since he esp likes the Ryan budget.)

Initially, Romneybot 1 did float a plan to disassemble the VA and then privatize it, but had to sent in Romneybot 2 to say he never was considering that.

Then I get confused…either Romneybot 1 or 2 said he’d increase funding to the Big Govt Healthcare system ….

Yesterday, in response to the President’s speech, either Romneybot 1 or 2 said the way to treat PTSI and TBI was to just give them jobs. Except that when you go to the Romney Website, there’s not even a plan for that.

President Obama announced today at Ft. Stewart in Georgia that he will sign an executive order to protect veterans, members of the military and their families from deceptive and predatory marketing practices by some for-profit higher educational institutions.

Mitt Romney’s campaign tried to get out front of the news today by issuing press releases suggesting that the president hasn’t done enough for the nation’s veterans. Campaign spokesperson Andrea Saul said:

  “Under President Obama, all Americans have suffered from one of the worst job markets in recorded history – and our nation’s veterans have been among the hardest hit. With more than twelve percent of our most recent veterans struggling to find work and nearly a million veterans unemployed, it’s clear that we need to do more to grow our economy and ensure that those who fight for America can find a job when they return home.”

Saul didn’t expand on the “do more” part of her critique. The other press release titled “Mitt Romney Will Give Veterans A Chance to Find Good Jobs” links to a page on the campaign website that makes no mention of any plan for veterans.  

So, let’s see what the Romney mouthpiece on this fine site have to say….
