Clinton announces ‘National Service Reserve’ for millennials
Yahoo! News ^ | Sept. 30, 2016 | Liz Goodwin

Hillary Clinton announced Friday that she wants to enlist 5 million new volunteers into a “national service reserve” aimed at 18- to 30-year-olds.

“What if we strengthen the culture of service in America? So it wasn’t just something we did one day a year, but it became a regular part of our lives,” she asked in a Florida rally on the topic of national service Friday.

The former secretary of state argued that her volunteer plan would help combat growing self-segregation in America, where people surround themselves with people who think, talk, look and read the same news as them. “That comes with a cost, it magnifies our differences,” she said, adding that the election has drawn attention to that trend.

Clinton also wants to expand AmeriCorps, a paid-service organization, from 75,000 members to 250,000, and expand the Peace Corps

We are living in Curious times when, for the most part, an entire generation is refusing to participate in our culture and economy.

This will affect our culture and our economy as they age while playing their games in the homes that their parents bought.

As millenials are the most self centered, self entitled generation in the History of the US and likely the World, I am syre they will just jump at the chance to leave Starbucks and clubbing and hooking up behind to go to western Tennessee in Mississippi flood season or to Eastern Oregon in forest fire season. Yeah right. Hey Hillary the ones who are doing this now are likely voting for Trump.

The WPA was REAL work. Those guys put in hours of back-breaking labor planting trees, building stone picnic shelters, putting in retaining walls, etc.

I’m sure anyone who signs-up for this will become a “facilitator” or “organizer” of some sort.

“Hitler Youth Ping... “

These weak, emo, snowflakes could not compare to the Hitler Youth. The Hitler Youth would stomp their teeth in.

The ridge near my house has hundreds of piles of large granite rocks.

The gubmint paid the hillbillies to tote and stack them.

The rock have been just sitting there doing nothing, for decades.

And then she could put them all to work pulling turnips in the turnip fields.

And then they could go down to the river for the plastic bag over their heads.

To make the world a better place.....you know.

Was chatting with my Millenial daughter last night about the election.

Her friends cannot stand Hillary.
Most are still angry that she stuck a shiv in their bud Bernie.
Most understand that she is a crooked, dishonest, unlikeable person.

They won’t vote for Trump either as most have bought the Kool-Aid that says this makes you a racist.

I predict record low Millenial turnout.

I want to know what the Clinton camp is seeing in their internal polling.

This fluffy, feel-good, garbage proposal reeks of desperation and is NOT something you see from a winning campaign.
