Video Link - Mike talks about the veterans portion of President Obama's jobs plan -- the piece that Congress passed earlier this month that the President signed into law today.

But the fight for American jobs continues, and many in Congress -- including almost every single Republican -- still refuse to do the right thing for teachers, cops, firefighters, and middle-class families like they did for our vets.

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to cut Medicare and Medicaid. Republicans in Congress are telling senior citizens and the poor that tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires are more important than providing a health care safety net for our most vulnerable.

But did you know that members of Congress get great taxpayer-funded health care? In fact, they have one of the best health care plans in the world. It is the height of hypocrisy to accept government-provided, taxpayer-subsidized health insurance while denying seniors, the disabled, and the poor the basic coverage that Medicare and Medicaid provides.
