Unsurprisingly, this scheme has a far better likelihood of success than anything Bernanke/Geithner have ever conceived.

The 'buy America' crap just means higher costs for the customers.
Hire Vets? Pretty sure there are already incentives in place. The ones who aren't hired are probably not really hire-able.
