"The military tuition program was saved :)" Good deal.
So was 500 million for Palestine. US unblocks $500M for Palestinians ( http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4360135,00.html ) The United States has quietly unblocked almost $500 million in aid to the Palestinian Authority which had been frozen by Congress for months, a top US official said Friday. The news that the funds had finally been freed up came after US President Barack Obama met top Israeli and Palestinian leaders in a landmark visit to Israel and the West Bank earlier this week. "To date, we have moved $295.7 million in fiscal year 2012 money and $200 million in fiscal year 2013 assistance," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters. The Obama administration also notified Congress in late February that it was seeking a further $200 million to fund US Agency for International Development (USAID) programs for the Palestinians, she said. Personally, I'd much rather we spend our money on our service men than on a never ending Middle East conflict (or the contractors profiting from it). I'm sure most here would disagree, but I believe if you cut off all aid to Palestine, they would exert some pressure on their extremist leaders to stop using them as pawns in this conflict.
