        Whenever people criticize the government’s role, this is an interesting example to point out — a huge investment in the American people that gave an incalculable return in terms of growth of the American economy. A monstrous boost to the post-WWII creation of a real middle class

        The famous G.I Bill. It did a lot to help America recover & thrive after wartime. It created a prosperity that would eventually bring about the "middle class" which had never existed before. "Boomers" across the country are a product of the G.I.bill's success. Suburbs were home

        The GI bill was the only way my parents were able to buy a home. The mortgage was $65 a month and they both had to work to make the payment. 1951.

        I wouldn't have been able to attend college without the GI Bill, one great program.

        This helped so many GIs returning from the war, thanks to FDR.
