GI Bill - Chump Change?

Servicemen returning from Iraq often look forward to the educational benefit of the GI Bill -- it's a key recruiting tool. But too many veterans find it an unexpected disappointment: The bill that changed America after World War II, opening up college to huge numbers of men and women who otherwise wouldn't have gone, has not kept pace with modern college costs, and now only pays roughly 60 percent of the cost of attending a public university in-state. NPR's Day to Day interviewed 24-year-old former Marine Thomas Sim, a struggling student at the University of California, Irvine: 

To be blunt, it's chump change. I get help, but not the total help I had come to believe in.

Sim says he has joined with other veterans in an effort to improve the G.I. Bill.
