Third, Congress needs to step up and pass my plan to create a veterans jobs corps to help our returning heroes find work as cops, firefighters and park rangers in communities across the country.

A few weeks ago, Republicans in the Senate voted that plan down.

If we're going to keep this economy moving forward, there's no time for political games.
