Support new G.I. Bill for today’s vets

February 20th, 2008

As the war drags on in Iraq and Afghanistan, the men and women of our armed forces, both regular and reserve, are making extraordinary sacrifices to ensure our freedom and safety. We can support them - and help the economy - by supporting the passage of a new G.I. Bill, modeled after the World War II version.

That G.I. Bill created a major influx into the middle class and helped fuel the post-war economic recovery by putting higher education within the reach of millions for whom it was otherwise out of reach. Estimates I have seen say that every dollar spent on that G.I. Bill yielded a seven-fold return,

Most importantly, this generation of warriors deserves it. From the beginning of the current conflict, they (and their families) have borne the burden and all too often paid the ultimate price for their service to our country. The rest of us have been encouraged to “live our lives and keep the economy rolling.”

We should all support a new G.I. Bill because it is good for the country and good for our economic future. But most of all, support it because these men and women, who have given so much, deserve nothing less!
