Sequestration Impacting Tuition Assistance for Veterans
I found out today that tuition assistance for Veterans is being cut and/or eliminated in some instances. For
what our Veterans do and have done, the government's support for them
should never waver. I understand the budget issue. I get it. However,
before a soldier's money is touched, those in Congress should take it
from their own salaries, first. And, before
doing the media circuit to blame the "other side" as it seems so many
do, use that time to work on getting a budget done. Negotiate. Work it
out. Show me and others that the effort has been made. Then, and only
then if the numbers don't add up and cuts have to be made, then look
into reducing benefits such as tuition. Just don't arbitrarily take
funds away from our Veterans.
