Appalling!

More on the H1-B visa scam...

Meantime, I was appalled to discover, jobs for returning U.S. military personnel are increasingly hard to find. Obviously the young guys coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan haven't heard that most jobs these days are in fields that Americans no longer will do. The Web site www.military.com reports:

During a recent U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs hearing it was announced that 20 to 24 year old veterans now have an unemployment rate of over 15 percent – nearly twice the rate of their non-veteran peers. The numbers of young unemployed veterans has grown dramatically since the start of military operations in Afghanistan. In response the Senate Committee has called for an urgent and improved effort to help veterans returning from the war on terror find work. Witnesses at the Senate hearing pointed to a wide variety of changes in government policies that might help. The Department of Labor plans to provide $162 million in federal grants to state agencies this to help veterans find work. To help support our returning veterans, let your public officials know how you feel! Let your public officials know how you feel!

I have personal knowledge that advisers to the Bush administration often refer to the U.S. military as our "security commodity." How about calling them indentured servants to advance the wet dreams of the oligarchy currently in power? When people or the U.S. military are considered "commodities," something is truly rotten in the seats of power in D.C. [Read "The New Pentagon Map" or anything written by Tom Barnett, Rumsfeld adviser and former member of Clinton's cabal.]

That is where George W. Bush and his advisers' heads are.

Very nice! Now our government is selling out our returning soldiers. Please take a couple of minutes every week, call your CongressCritter and express your disgust.

You are disgusted aren't you?
