u.s. air force veteran, and josh cuiter from kent state university. brad explained how he was inundated with offers and letters when he was exploring how to utilize his well-earned g.i. benefits. those offers overwhelmingly came from for-profit colleges. he said that he were more interested with their own -- in their own bottom line than helping those who served on the front lines. that's simply not right. no one is in a better position to make a decision. what's best for them is the veteran and the veteran herself and the veteran himself. we can play a role in assisting them. the g.i. bill consumer awareness act provides veterans with more and better information about their benefits, calls for improved education counseling and gives colleges new resources to hire people like joshua rider that help returning veterans. requires all institutions of higher education to disclose critical information like the average student loan debt, the transferability of credits and accurate job placement data. we do that at our state universities, we do that at most o

u.s. air force and the u.s. navy. in the long run, if we could develop energy independence, we could say to europe, china, japan, we're fine. we have enough energy ourselves. if they have a problem, they need to figure out what they are going to do to keep open the straight. it would be much healthier world if other midlevel powers were doing their fair share and not relying on the u.s. to do that, you have to get to american energy independence of the we're not faced with a crisis every time the saudis or the iraqis or the iranians decide to reduce oil production. now, there is another side effect of growing energy independence, and that is jobs. north dakota is the preeminent example of oil being produced in the u.s. we hav we have new drilling technology that lets us reach out in north dakota, and we are now producing a tremendous increase in oil. 15 years ago, we thought there were about 115 million barrels of oil in north dakota. today, we think there are 24 billion barrels of oil. that is how big the increase ha
