G I Bill Public Education Support Spurs Veteran Aid
The GI bill has lifted many veterans with college education though some phases failed to help. A proposed bill would raise monthly stipends from 65 to 75 for one earner and provide 120 for married students with one dependent, improving living support for veterans pursuing study. Edmund Harding’s success story and Carl Goerch’s transition to professional speaking are noted among others who give talks for money. Some speakers lack compensation, yet presenting requires brass, especially for prominent figures like former governors.
