WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says he expects lawmakers from both parties to approve a package of tax credits for businesses that hire military veterans.
Speaking in the Rose Garden, Obama says supporting veterans who fought for their country is the responsibility of both political parties.
The Senate is expected to consider tax credits this week for businesses that hire unemployed veterans or injured vets who have been out of work. The president says there is no good reason to oppose the bill.
