The GI Bill gets my vote for the single most beneficial government program in history. It allowed millions of young people to go to college who would otherwise not have gone.

My dad joined the army at age 15, because they promised to feed him Every. Single. Day. (which was more than his parents could manage).

Thanks to the GI Bill, he became a doctor, then he was able to put his younger brother through medical school and my mom through law school. And I got to grow up with a horse and a swimming pool.
