A G.I. Bill For Kids

3/2/2017

Senator Rob Standridge just pulled a very sensible bill from consideration at this legislature. It was a measure which would have assigned education benefits to families in a more consumer-friendly way. (SB560)

President George HW Bush(41) called it "The G.I. Bill For Kids". In the same way that our veterans are empowered to assign their education benefits at any certified public or private sector institution, our own children would enjoy the freedom to get their education at the institution of their choice.

There is also an outcry for reform of the Veterans Medical benefit. Congress will soon pass legislation to allow veterans to get needed health care at any clinic, if they can't get that same care in a timely manner at the VA hospital or outpatient clinic. It is wildly popular! But we somehow have a vast disconnect when it comes to how we treat our kids.

The Oklahoma Legislators Want Vets to be able to get VA benefits at any clinic,
But most of those same legislators won't let our children get common education benefits at any school.

"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic. I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.

Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.
