Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill could help veterans get jobs by giving companies a reason to hire them. It offers tax credits to businesses that hire veterans and keep them employed for a while. It also asks companies to help veteran support groups. This is a good way to help those who served our country find work when they come home.
