Administration Fights Dem Plan to Boost School Aid for Vets
By Alexandra Bahou and Anna Schecter
ABC News
Thursday 09 August 2007
The Bush administration opposes a Democratic effort to restore
full educational benefits for returning veterans, according to an
official's comments last week.
Senate Democrats, led by Virginia's Jim Webb, want the government
to pay every penny of veterans' educational costs, from tuition at a
public university to books, housing and a monthly stipend.
Such a benefit was a major feature of the historic 1944 G.I.
Bill, which put more than eight million U.S. soldiers through college
and is now credited by historians as fueling the expansion of
America's middle class in the post-war era.
But in recent years the benefit has dwindled; under the current
law, passed in 1985, veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan can
expect Uncle Sam to cover only 75 percent of their tuition costs.
That's not enough, say Democrats and veterans' advocates.
More than 450,000 used the benefit last year, at a cost to
taxpayers of $2 billion, according to the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA), which administers the program. The Democratic proposal
would cost an additional $5.4 billion a year, the VA estimates - and
that's too much, it says.
Keith Wilson, the VA official who oversees the education benefits
program, told senators last Friday the proposal would make
"administration of this program cumbersome," and its costs would "tax
existing VA resources."
But Democrats appeared unfazed. The current GI Bill is "woefully
inadequate, given the service our military men and women have
provided since [the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks]," said Webb, a combat
veteran and former Navy secretary, who introduced the legislation
that would expand the program. Webb's bill has 19 Democratic
co-sponsors, including Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and John Kerry,
D-Mass., a fellow veteran.
Patrick Campbell of the Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America
(IAVA) endorsed Webb's plan. Better educational benefits are
essential for attracting talented, ambitious recruits, he asserted.
"If the Department of Defense said, 'If you serve your country,
we'll pay for school no questions asked,' ... [that] would increase
the quality of our recruits," said Campbell, "instead of what we're
doing now, which is lowering our standards."

As a concerned conservative I believe these benefits should be provided as an
incentive for more interest in recruitment. We need more fighting soldiers to
kick terrorist's asses!

Then why don't you volunteer to go to Iraq or Afghanistan to fight those
you proclaim to be "terrorists", minipenis? Like all yellow-belly
republiKKKan lapdogs, you expect others to do your fighting while you sit
at home and whine about "liberals".

LOL!
Really.
While the government officials think the US taxpayers are here to provide
defense in foreign nations and to fund the gellin' like a felon harassment
brigades which are seen as private secutiry forces operated with stolen
funds who stalk the people of the USA.
Just do a little research and see the militaristic practices of the state
funded police forces.
Stealth operations, etc.
Since when did the USA and its municipalities get the right to commit acts
of war on the people of the usa while taxing us to fund military occupation
forces in foreign lands?
Why don't they say, "If you want to run around with a gun bought by the
taxpayers and ride around in equipment purchased by the taxpayers, then get
thee in the military."
Also, why is it they can't act like civilians instead of state control
taxing loons?

Wow.

Here in my county the freagin' sheriff's department wastes and begs for so
much money that they could fund the additional school needs without any tax
increase at all and they would have their school needs fully funded in seven
years.

You and Wentzky the Screaming Fruitcake of Anderson County are made for each
other...since neither of you apparently learned about that little insurrection
that some call the Civil War. (As a result of my Appalachian roots, I still
call it the States War, but the point is - you post first and (possibly) think
later, which isn't known for winning any debates.)

That's a lame excuse, minipenis. I'm sure they could find something that
you could be useful for, such as, setting off the roadside bombs before
they czn kill real Americans.
BTW why are you so interested in my
penis?
I can't help it that your ng pseudonym is minipenis, minipenis. Perhaps a
good Urologist can help you with that problem if it bothers you or your
boyfriend.

The terrorists are the Islamic extremists. They want you and everyone you have
ever know dead just because you and they are not Muslim (I'm assuming you are
not Muslim) bush/chaney are not terrorists. They want to protect you from
militant Muslim attacks even though you hate them.
Militant Islam murderd over 3000 people in America on 9/11. If that isn't
enough to convince you that the militant Islamic terrorists are a threat to
our saftey and security, what is it going to take. Do they have to kill 30,000
300,000?
It is so disgusting to me when I hear an American call Bush a terrorist. What
is Bush supposed to do? Nothing? Just sit back, relax and let the terrorists
hit us again?
America is at war with terrorism. If America stops fighting the Islamic
terrorists the war will not be over. The terrorists started this war. How will
the USA be safer if it surrenders to terrorists?

The only anti-American in this conversation is *you*, anonymous coward. Some
of us Americans still believe in that Constitution that Cheney and his little
dog have done their damnedest to repudiate..
You are either for America or for the Islamic terrorists. If you call Bush a

Big words from a coward too weak in the head to think in anything but binary
terms...and the same ***** I've heard since I was a lot younger and hearing
the same whining about how we had to win in Nam. Choke on this opinion: the
Constitution is by no means perfect, but it's one holy hell of a lot better
than the sorry charade we're stuck with now. Impeach the bastards at 1600 NW
Pennsylvania (and anywhere else inside the Beltway).

You are either for America or for the Islamic terrorists. If you call Bush a
