MANDATORY volunteer (i.e., unpaid) service by 500,000 young people.
Of course, this programs will have to have at least several thousand well-paid bureaucrats to supervise the unpaid "volunteers", right? And the bureaucrats will have to travel extensively, be housed in posh offices, attend conferences in five star hotels, and have regular "team-building retreats" in Disney World, etc.
This idea is so preposterous, it almost leaves me speechless. One would think that only a drugged-up Dumbocrat could come up with something this stupid. But NOOOOOOOO, we have John McCain right in the middle of this!!!
