Taken from Mitch Albom's article in the Sunday Detroit Free Press:
"Today, a new bill is being proposed, one that would essentially do for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan what we did for those in World War II. A new, expanded GI Bill. It has bipartisan support from senators and congressmen. But not from the White House. The same White House that features a president and vice president who never saw combat; the same White House that throws around the phrase 'support our troops' to serve its purposes, thinks this bill is too expensive. It costs $2 billion to $4 billion a year. Too expensive? That's what we're spending in a few days in Iraq...."
