With everyone caught up in primary madness, these stories fell under the radar in the last couple of days. They don't necessarily require a lot of comment but they deserve wider attention.
Avedon catches a good bill that hasn't received enough notice.
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America is backing Webb's GI Bill, based on the old WWII bill. It would probably do more than anything currently proposed for the economy. Has your Senator signed on as a co-sponsor of S22? John McCain hasn't. I think Hillary and Obama should mention this, don't you?Sounds like a good idea to me.
