Plan To Exclude World War II Vets Sparks Pension Debate
The House voted 162 3 against excluding World War II veterans from a proposed veterans pension plan. A Rankin bill would pay 90 dollars monthly to all World War I and II veterans at 65, but supporters aim to strip WWII benefits and limit to World War I veterans via a substitute by Rep. Hubert. The vote shifted to defeat a maneuver to kill the bill, with changes debated and estimates placing costs at 125 billion over 50 years for Rankin, and 438 million to start for Hubert's substitute.
