Just what we need, another welfare program. We already have te Clinton boondoggle called Americorps. Look it up; it's a real loser.
What ever makes people think servitude is something a free country does ?
Programs are only as good as their administration. Who said anything about pay and benefits. A little subsistence and do for your country. Check out the LDS missionary program. There is a church run like a business and missionaries pay dividends. A little faith maintenance mechanism, so to speak. A bit of America is right and a little less of freedom without a personal payment.
We seem willing to let teachers teach America is always wrong and we subsidize them.
