House votes to scale back GI Bill housing stipend for military kids

You know who cusses the GOP if they have a lick of sense? Recruiters. And Career planners.

just a small portion of the article......
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Tim Walz, speaking on the House floor Tuesday, said that while the bill has "absolutely wonderful programs," paying for those by reducing a benefit that service members have been promised "is an egregious breach of trust."

"Why come to the soldiers first? There's no other place in the federal government we can find this [funding]?" Walz asked.

A House Veterans Affairs Committee spokesman noted that the cuts are less drastic than those recommended by the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission, which called for a complete elimination of housing stipends for both military spouses and children using the GI Bill.

The spokesman said that while "a very small handful of Democrats" opposed cutting the stipend to pay for the bill, they didn't offer an alternative funding source, so "we are moving forward with the bill in its current form."
