Senate passes Obama’s Veterans jobs package

95-0 per TIME. Guess even the Republicans couldn't say no to vets before Veterans' Day.

The bill would give tax credits of up to $9,600 to companies hiring disabled vets who have been jobless at least six months, and improve job training and counseling for veterans. Obama included the tax breaks in his $447 billion jobs plan, which has otherwise gone nowhere so far in Congress.
