Get together and they just work it out. And then it comes back and everyone is smiling and happy and they pass it and then the bill goes to the president. Its not exactly that way. Its a lot of give and take. Now, sometimes you do have a bill thats not as complex, thats easier and it can go smoothly. But how a bill really becomes a law, you know, it depends on whos in the room, it depends on whats happening nationwide, it depends on who the president is, its so many different things. So we were able to do this. So a year ago we passed it in the senate and tomorrow i believe were going to pass the conference report. The agreement will cost roughly the same as the senatepassed bill and well blow the last wrda bill. I have to say why. Because as we authorize projects, we deauthorized old projects and thats important. So we were able to go almost better than one or one, deauthorizing and authorizing. And also we had a very good talk with the c. B. O. , the congressional budget office, whic
Package had been lost. He indicates he now suffers from several Health Conditions as a result and has been informed that the v. A. Denies his benefits. A veteran from hutchinson indicated that hes been fighting with the v. A. For seven years on appeal. So hes got something pending with the v. A. Theyve provided him an answer that is unsatisfactory and he is appealing that decision. Claims the v. A. Continues to ignore the evidence he provides and intentionally attempts to drag out his appeal process. And he has difficulties finding updates on his appeal when he contacts the v. A. Just someone who calls the office, asked for our help, one more example. A veteran from wichita says that his doctor doctors have discovered a mass on his brain. This will require an m. R. I. To determine what the mass is. The earliest appointment available for him is on june the 30th and he, of course, as we all would be, is concerned over that long wait. So diagnosis of a brain a mass on the brain. Dont know
In the future, whats predicted there. So these are great Information Sources for our Service Members to be able to use. Its also a great resource for Human Resources officials, the ones i was talking about earlier. They can go look through where they can say ok, i run an engineering firm, what military occupational areas are related to what we do . Well, they can search, put in their industry and see what military occupation codes are available and have some linkages there. So its a great source for both the Service Members and the civilian population to work look for. The navy has started this, the air force force, and the navy has been able to take the next step and that is actually find Funding Sources to help. Over the past six to eight years theyve been in the range of 40,000 soldiers they have been able to help earn a qualification of some sort. This brings a wealth of information to the navy as well through these folks that earn the certifications. So its a good push, a positive
In buying homes, and investing in their futures, in pursuing their american dream. Reduced purchasing power due to high Student Loan Debt not only holds back families daytoday spending but keeps them from making those large investments. I believe its irresponsible and shortsighted for us to think that we can saddle young people people, the true engines of our economy, with this burden and maintain our position as the worlds most powerful economy. Historically the United States has done things differently. We were the leader in expanding college student. From the g. I. Bill following world war ii to pell grant in 1980 we have taken bold steps to ensure that americans have access to college regardless of their ability to pay their way entirely on their own. We created these programs because we understood that an educated work force is essential to our nations economic competitiveness, the most valuable Natural Resource any nation on the planet has is the genius and mental acuity of its p
