Welcome to the WPA of the 21st century. Hope for some change in your pockets, after this rubberstamp congress gets done. The GOP is dead to me.

What a headline? “Congress expands ways for Americans to bow to their masters” would be more appropriate.

Most of us can barely help ourselves, just ask Barry.

I fail to see how Congress EXPANDED ways Americans can help others. Volunter efforts are only limited by your skills and willingness to do for others.
And making moves to require public “volunteer” service (as is required of some convicted criminals) is a violation of basic rights. Unless we are going to see everyone drafted into the military, and even those people get paid.

Reminds me of a joke of the Roosevelt era:
3000 years ago, Moses spoke to the Israelites...
Boys, get on your camels, pack up your asses, we're goin' to the promised land!
.............
3000 years later...
Obama says...
Boys, sit on yur asses, light up a Camel, this is the promised land...

See your sellout Republican votes at the link. The title of the bill was- A bill entitled “The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, an Act to reauthorize and reform the national service laws.”
The expansion of government from “compassionate conservatism” marches on.

$5.7 billion bill that takes ambitious steps on public servicePaying people, with TAXPAYER'S MONEY, to volunteer isn't VOLUNTEERING! It's STEALING!

A meaningful, productive job is the best welfare plan ever devised. No government needed.

Please don’t shoot the messenger (me!). I followed the tease which was- Congress votes on public service bill- Reuters
The title was different, and it was a crAP byline.
Meanwhile, there are shiny metal things distracting everyone.
