New G.I. Bill Proposes ‘Patriot Tax’
by Brian Naylor
All Things Considered, May 15, 2008 · Congressional Democrats are pushing forward with plans for a new G.I. Bill to give veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan money to go to college for four years. House Democrats want to pay for it with what they’ve dubbed a “patriot tax” on people earning more than $500,000. In the Senate, one Republican who notably isn’t on board is John McCain, a Vietnam veteran who says the proposal is too expensive and could encourage service members to leave the military.
In stark contrast to his 100 years in Iraq McCain now says he wants out of Iraq. What’s more, McCain is now even saying his is for time tables. I seem to remember a time in recent history when calling for timetables got one branded as a traitor.
