The NY Times reports that Senate Republicans blocked a Veterans Job Corps bill yesterday:

“It would be easier to admire the Republicans’ late-breaking fiscal scrupulosity if their motives — denying the Obama administration any kind of victory this year, whatever the cost to jobless vets — weren’t so transparent. It’s probably useful to remind Republicans like John McCain (a “nay” on the jobs bill) that wounded, jobless and homeless veterans aren’t a fact of nature. They’re a product of the wars that Congress members voted for, the war debt they piled on, and the economy they helped ruin.”

Here is the Roll Call link:

• Of the 58 Yeas, only 2 were Republican
• Of the 40 Nays, all were Republican
