GI Bill - Will Bush sign it into law ??

Today, the Senate took a historic step toward a modern and fair educational benefit for the men and women who have served honorably since 9/11. This bill properly responds to the needs of those who answered the call of duty to our country--those who moved toward the sound of the guns--often at great sacrifice.

"Congress today resolutely asserted that it is time for those of us who have been calling on these brave men women to serve again and again to assist in providing a meaningful chance for a first-class future. This is a bill that is equal to the first-class service that they have given to this country.

"I am gratified by the substantial support we received today in the Senate for this new, robust GI Bill. The effort was only made possible by the solid investment and leadership of my chief cosponsors, Senators Hagel, Lautenberg and Warner, in addition to the unwavering support of our nation's leading veterans' organizations.

81 percent of Americans say that veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan are not getting enough support in transitioning back to civilian life.

- 91 percent of Americans support providing these veterans with a funded college education for their service.

- More than 8 of 10 Americans support a comprehensive 21st Century GI Bill.

- 83 percent of Americans believe that a new 21st Century GI Bill will benefit America.

No, President Bush will try to use the excuse that they've added extranious pork belly features to the bill, but he's been quoted as saying it would encourage the soldiers not to reinlist by encouraging them to get an education so he doesn't want to give it to them.

No. The bill is a waste of money. The Dems have added $50 billion in wasteful spending to it. And it is sad to me to see the Dems force the president to veto this bill, since they knew full well that if they pushed this pork through he would veto it. Ah, the party of change.

GI bill / welfare

to republicans it's one in the same.

it's a hand out and Bush will veto it and blame Democrats for it.

service does not matter to them they could care less about the troops after there done with them.

No he will not. As usual, the Dems have loaded the baked potato beyond exploding, with mucho pork. It is just a political ploy that does nothing but insult the troops.

i think Bush will veto it because he doesn't like social program that help people that don't do it all themselfs or don't have parents that can pay the way.

No, there are a lot of unrelated items that have been stuffed in to the bill.

No way. Bush support is superficial at best.
