Senate OKs G I terminal leave bonds cashing for veterans
The Senate passed a house bill to allow World War II veterans to cash their G I terminal leave bonds after Sept. 1, a move tied to a broader measure increasing veterans subsistence during schooling. The measure, expected to cost about 217 million dollars yearly, also boosts monthly allowances for single and married veterans and those with children. Senator Taft argued the plan helps reduce debt while avoiding deflation, noting the bonds’ cashing would divert funds from taxes back into debt payoff.
