This Day in American History
On this day in 1944, FDR signed the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, aka The GI Bill of Rights. In my opinion, this was about the the best government program ever--it helped the deserving poor (military pay was absurdly low) but allowed them to choose where to go to school and what to study, and it paid off huge dividends back to society in general (as well as to the government as taxes) when our better educated former serviceman became successful businessmen.
