As thousands of sailors and Marines are sent abroad for a possible war with Iraq, the Bush administration is proposing to cut education funding for many children of military families.

The president's plan would eliminate funding for military students who live in apartments or homes off base, a proposal that has incensed educators who say the timing couldn't be worse.
Bush's proposal to cut the payments for students who live off base would save the government about $125 million, said Amy Call, spokeswoman for the White House Office of Management and Budget.

"Since the children are living on private property, the local school district is receiving property tax from the private home the child is living in," she said. "That's a source of revenue to finance their education."



So, lets see... I want the soldiers to come home without risking their lives, W wants their kids to have less money for education and give up at least one of their parents for a nice chunk of time, possibly forever. I forget, who's the one who has no respect for our armed forces?
