I spent some of the best years of my life defending this country from people who want us all dead, I devoted my time to protecting the lives of Americans everywhere. Paying for your own education isn't the same as having an unhappy childhood. I was raised to pay for what I need/want, it makes you a better person and you quickly come to realize what a dollar is really worth.
You are against the GI education and training bill? Post-9/11 GI Bill - Education and Training

Because the US Constitution calls for it, the COTUS doesn't call for free childcare or free college educations.

Did I say that? I don't believe I said that, please point out where I said I was against it.

"to provide for the general welfare"

And the Const. says nothing about a professional military where I have to pay you. It could be volunteer militia, nothing in it mandates I am forced to pay your welfare with MY hard-earned money

You should be because it provides free education at the expense of the American taxpayer.

Who is going to care for you when you are old and drooling in a nursing home, the Walton family or nurses who were able to get an education to become nurses?

Maybe you should learn what the term "free" actually means.

I see we have the usual suspects and the new account trolls creaming themselves over their boy, obambo. obaggers indeed. obamabo and gruber are right about you people - useful idiots. Maybe, just maybe, one day you'll grow out of your stupor but it's doubtful.

You were in the military, but didn't use the GI Bill? I'm not bashing you but just wonder why.

Frankly, it's something else that the same Republicans that have blocked efforts to stop government subsidized student loans from going to private "collages" with 70%+ loan default rates, but yet say we can't afford to pay for the community college educations of those who really want to better themselves.
