President Bush and John McCain teamed up to try to defeat the 21st Century GI Bill, which doubles college benefits for troops and veterans. In the end, it still passed, was signed into law yesterday, and now both are trying to take credit for the very bill that they worked so hard to defeat.

Jim Webb was on Countdown yesterday to discuss the bill:

On the attempt to block the bill:

I think George W. Bush made a real bad mistake in terms of our trying to show full respect for military service. I think he blew it.

It just really shows me how much Bush and McCain care about the American people. It also shows me that the right presidential candidate won. We now have someone in offices that realizes you can not have a successful country without educated citezents. I personally feel education is that backbone of the entire economic success or failure. The more people you you have with degrees the more people you have with the no how to set up businesses that create jobs, people actually qualified to hold jobs created, which means in the end you have more people putting money back into the economy. I also feel educated people are less likely to do things that cause the economy money instead of contributing to its success.
