Clinton: Create Public Service Academy Jul 28 02:38 PM US/Eastern By PAGE IVEY Associated Press Writer COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton told college Democrats on Saturday she would create a national academy to train public servants.
"I'm going to be asking a new generation to serve," she said. "I think just like our military academies, we need to give a totally all-paid education to young men and women who will serve their country in a public service position."
An older woman carrying a sign that said "She doesn't care, all she wants is the power" yelled at Clinton while the New York senator was speaking in a ballroom on the University of South Carolina campus. Students attending the College Democrats of America convention shouted down the woman down and pushed her from the room.
"One of the things I love about politics, you never know what the day will bring," Clinton said.
Several people at the convention said they were inspired by Clinton's speech and her experience in public service after law school.
Clinton was an intern with the Children's Defense Fund, which advocates for minority, poor and disabled children.
"I loved her personal stories. ... It wasn't her generic speech," said Katelyn Porter, president of the College Democrats chapter at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island.
Porter, who is from Boston and works for a nonprofit organization that helps low-income families, said she has not decided which Democratic candidate she will support. "But Hillary is definitely at the top of the list," she said.

Ya know, public service might also include "nation building" so these folks might jump in and "save" our military from a job they're really not equipped to do (their forte is killing people and breaking things). That would make it darn near impossible to whine about the post-aggression clean up that's at the core of the libs complaints for the past few years now, wouldn't it?
You would think she was an educator, but she is not. Or, you might think she had a lot of training and experience in health care, but she doesn’t. She went to law school and then married. That’s all. WE hve lots better experts in these fields than she.
Sounds like she wants to resurrect the concept of indentured servants.
Just what we need...more PoliSci majors. /s

I can’t believe they had the Hitler Youth...er, Young Democrats convention in Columbia. So much for that ol’ NAACP boycott because of that eeeeeeevil Confederate flag flying at a monument on the Statehouse grounds, eh? Wonder what Darrell Jackson and Joe Darby and that crew thought.

Wonder if those benefits would apply to the pubic service position taken by Ms. Lewinsky?
Maybe it would be better to send current government employees to an academy, upon completion of which, they would go do something useful in a non-government setting.
MANDATORY VOLUNTEERS!
Jiminy Cricket!
Bite your tongue! Won't happen, can't happen. [hackpooeyspit]
This idea fits right into the outcome-based education she's always been for:
During the Bush administration, Hillary Clinton was on the board of directors for the National Center on Education and the Economy. This group was established by the Carnegie organization, the engine driving social change through education in this country.
In June 1990, this group published a report called "America's Choice: High skills or low wages." This report calls for reformers to connect Labor with education. On page two, referring to America's business community, the report says:
...the system is managed by a small group of educated planners and supervisors who do the thinking for the organization. They plan strategy, implement changes, motivate the workers and solve problems. Extensive administrative procedures allow managers to keep control of a large number of workers.
That's scary.
Well, she is at least interested in teaching others how to get rich quick helping the poor. Afterall, she is the master of the art, along with her husband of course.
If we knew how to work the “public service” system as these two do, we could all become rich like them. Why we could buy an expensive home in Chappaqua and retire wealthy just like them.
I just can’t believe they would be willing to share with others their get rich scheme. I mean, we know it works. Look at them. Neither of them ever had what anyone would consider a real job. Sure, they both have law degrees from Yale. Straight from there to politics. Both now very rich.
This is one grand money making scheme that has been proven to work. Where can one register to learn from Bill and Hill how to get rich without ever holding a real job outside politics?
Ah nevermind. No doubt a prerequisite is a law degree from Yale. That’s gotta be where the real methods of learning how to steal from taxpayers is taught.
American liberal Madrassas...
We need to make sure they don’t get personal stipends any larger than the VETS under the GI Bill... and that needs to be brought up NOW.
NO OFFENSE to REAL public servants but...
