VETS Bill

Vets Deserve an Education, at the Very Least. Right?

Ok, I just listened to this (short, worth your time):

And besides being pissed that Chimpy has made one more American drop out of college and join the race for lifetime underemployment, I’m pissed at the Democrats. I’m slow and can’t keep up with all the developments these days, but since when has the Montgomery Bill (education for vets) package been so shitty? And for how long are the Democrats going to sit around and do nothing about it? I remember the package when I was in, and for some reason it didn’t seem as bad as it’s described in that clip- I seem to remember there was more. Even if I’m wrong, isn’t right now a great time to get moving on something like this? It’s a win, win, win situation, no voter would be against it and no Republican could be for very long or very loudly in the last few months of the campaign cycle. Sigh. It just seems so obvious to me.

That the Dems’ new “VETS” education package doesn’t increase the amount of money given for books or tuition, I’d have to call it “better than warm shit.” Just what our returning vets deserve, right? Christ, what hypocrites and idiots rule us.
