Bonus Bill Before the Senate Faces Long, Costly Passage
The senate bill for soldiers' bonus frames a 43 year payment plan with a $3.545 billion total cost. Treasury experts project 75 percent of 4,455,199 veterans would choose the adjusted service certificate option, with smaller shares for farm and vocational aid. The plan relies on reducing expenditures and interest on refunded foreign obligations to avoid new taxes, while some leaders fear tariff debates could delay action for weeks.
