Sounds like indentured servitude to me... Socialism?

First Black President wants a form of slavery?

Obama wants to wrote:
The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

Teeny Boppers have fun...

Gov is going to pay for college? Socialism here we come....

Require 100 Hours of Service in College: Obama and Biden will establish a new American Opportunity Tax Credit that is worth $4,000 a year in exchange for 100 hours of public service a year.

Slavery means you don't get paid. A tax credit would be tantamount to getting paid, right?

I missed where it says government would pay for college. Is it in that link?

I for one support the idea of investing heavily in programs to support volunteer work - it benefits society. The great thing is that volunteer work is exactly that - it's not mandatory; you have to volunteer for it!

For what it's worth, the Catholic High School I went to required 80 hours of community service, the public High School I went to required 10.

Ya me too, and what happened when they got in power? Germany changed into an underfunded, unequipped tiny force into one of the most powerful countries ever seen.

I think we already have this program in place, it is called working to earn money for college.

But I am sure the government version will be better.

I am fine with paying back money with work.
Where is the program for the able bodied welfare people to pay back with work? He comes out with that plan I am on board.

lol. 90% of my community service was going in charity road races that I would have done anyways... so not really. The administration knows its a joke so pretty much ANYTHING is considered community service.

There are many set up - akin to a welfare-to-work type of system. The problem is that it is inundated by bearaucracy and inefficiency. But you probably don't know that because you are too worried railing against social programs without really knowing how inadequate they are to begin with.

Sounds like FDR. Everytime someone calls him a socialist I love Obama just a little bit more.
