"We finally had a glimpse of what the President-Elect wanted to accomplish, and now that glimpse is gone as soon as we started scrutinizing the specifics…."
Take a look at this unbelievable story! Spread it around!!!
They just have to shut down enough - especially evidential material. The rest they can ridicule and/or dismiss. And, they will.
we have them there!!!
BTW, I went to the contact section and axed them where the socialist agenda items had gone. Fat chance I will get a reply....
THIS IS NOW ON REDDIT!!!
Will they be drafting people?

So as a 61 year old how many hours am I supposed to donate a year (NOT)?
What do you think about Barack Obama requiring community service?
Total Voters: 638
Very nice, now let this grow to 99%!
Re: “developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.””
This admittedly does not sound so bad; the plan effectively pays $40 an hour. To be fair, though, a service member who performs 2000 or more hours of duty would have to get $80,000 toward college per year of service.
In time of war and the draft is reinstated if my children already aren’t in the military then our family will do what is expected of us, like our parents and grandparents before us did.
The instant this a*****e sends his goons to my door to force my children into slavery for the sole purpose of helping to support those too lazy to do for themselves then I truly believe it might be the day I meet my maker, preferably dragging a few brownshirts with me.
I noticed the switch in language along with others on FR. We were discussing it on this thread:

No, this plan doesn’t sound so bad, however, his language on his proposed ideas were changed for a period of time. The original language offered credit. Then the wording changed language and did did not include college credit for service. It only said 100 hours of service required for college students. There were complaints about this, and now the new language is back to what he originally stated - which involves credit. So, what is it credit or required, or both?
Bet you lunch that working to get him re-elected will count towards your community service.
Regarding the college tuition thing- wouldn’t we all be better served if the college bound got a real job doing something real to earn money for tuition ?
And isn’t this option already available ?
And under a program like this whats to stop someone from getting the 4k for college, burning through the money and flunking out , then going back and “volunteering” some more and going - there are lots of people n this country who truly have nothing to do and like it that way
SO they can sit in the doctors office getting free medical acre, do a little volunteer work , go to school for a while, wash, rinse repeat.
He also states “some Republicans will squeal about “individual rights”” when it comes to this idea. These guys would make Mao proud.
Haha, in four years... that may be true...
