How about we just eliminate AmeriCorps?

I agree. The House Republicans’ FY2013 budget proposal called for killing AmeriCorps entirely.

Gee, hope Orrin Hatch is OK with that...

Look who supports Americorps - Jan 19, 2001

Created in 1993 [Clinton], this big-government boondoggle pays young people to “volunteer” in “community service”

The press release doesn’t cite liberal cheerleaders of the program. It cites Republican after Republican, from Arizona Sen. John McCain to Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum to Missouri Sen. Kit Bond and ex-Ohio Rep. John Kasich, praising Clinton’s monstrous creation.

Other GOP members of the Senate and House who initially opposed the creation and funding of AmeriCorps but now support it include: Utah Sens. Robert Bennett and Orrin Hatch, Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, Montana Sen. Conrad Burns, Ohio Sen. Mike DeWine, New Mexico Sen. Pete Domenici, New York Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, Montana Rep. Rick Hill, Mississippi Rep. Charles Pickering, and Illinois Reps. John Porter and John Shimkus. Where have all the fiscal conservatives gone?
