Not sure if anyone saw this yet.

It affects midwest flooding relief, New Orleans, unemployment extension, more than doubles the GI bill to $90,000, among other things.

The new GI Bill essentially would guarantee a full scholarship at any in-state public university, along with a monthly housing stipend, for people who serve in the military for at least three years. It is aimed at replicating the benefits awarded veterans of World War II and more than doubles the value of the benefit — from $40,000 today to $90,000.

Full details of the nuts and bolts of the measure won't be released until Thursday.

If passed the new GI Bill will cover in-state tuition at a public university. I'm wondering how much will be covered for those of us who want to attend more expensive private schools.
