It’s not about economics, it’s about control. Soviet style control.

A couple of my high school students have mentioned going into Job Corp. Has anyone heard of this? Sounds frightening.

Just like in China and Russia - Party / Government Cadres go to school for free, get their ideological training, and join the service of the state agains the people afterwards.

My Fish Club went to plant trees by a river with the Forest Service.

Our club and another club were all (40) there at 8:00 A.M. sharp.

The eco-wackos (4) showed up at 8:45 well into the introduction / training.

The Juvenile Delinquent work crew (8) showed up at 9:15 as we were headed to the river.

We planted a few thousand trees.

The Americorps chicks (2) showed up at 12:30, after all the trees were planted and the free lunch provided by the fishermen’s wives was being served.

Way to go, Americorp!

This is Obama's plan.

Suck young people into burying themselves in student loans for worthless degrees, then enslave them for the rest of their lives.
