So ... What Idiot Proposed This?

Would make more sense to tax each illegal alien with a job $2400 right off the top.

Congress considering new 'tax' on troops for GI Bill

 

[Auld Phart]

Are they trying to convince people NOT to enlist?

So which members of Congress made such a suggestion. We need to get down to brass tactics.

VFW Blasts Proposed GI Bill Enrollment Fee as 'Tax on Troops' | Military.com

"Carlos Fuentes, legislative director of the VFW, said the proposal for a fee on GI Bill benefits didn't have the name of a panel member attached to it."

Wonder why they didn't want their name attached to it?

There's a plan in Congress to start charging troops for their GI Bill benefits

draft legislation from House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Phil Roe, R-Tenn. — would deduct $2,400 from future service members’ paychecks to establish eligibility for revamped post-military education benefits. This was first reported Tuesday by Task & Purpose.

Actually, no, when you drill down to the source. It came from Will Hubbard, Vice President of Student Veterans of America, which is a left wing sponsored group.

It's so weird that the OP isn't jumping in within seconds to ask for your evidence...

I can never stop marveling at some the idiocy that gets posted here.

Who are the 'leftwing' sponsors of this group?

Will Hubbard, vice president of government affairs for Student Veterans of America, called the VFW’s position “short-sighted.”

Hubbard said the buy-in would provide an estimated $330 million each year, which would bankroll an expansion to veterans’ education benefits. Some of the improvements SVA, which says it supports more than 500,000 student veterans, are seeking include more money for veterans pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics degrees, increased benefits for survivors and dependents, providing more benefits for reservists and doing away with a requirement that veterans use their benefits within 15 years after their military service.

No link and that doesn't back up what you said, that this "left wing sponsored" group is responsible for the legislation. Republicans are responsible for the bill. A Republican proposed it and it will be Republicans that debate and pass or not pass it.
