I don’t care what your objective is you are proposing an almost identical program to the one Obama tried to push. Its forced labor. This is America. We are free to do what we want. Not be forced into two years of govt labor. Just because you think its a good idea doesn’t mean it should be mandatory. We have the peace corps and the volunteer military for anybody who wants to do public service.
You want skin in the game? How about the income tax and FICA taken out of your paycheck every two weeks?
I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree (but not be disagreeable!) with each other on the boot camp concept. It is clear to me that you have your mind made up about it, and so do I, so no good can possibly come FRom us keeping that conversation open.
HST, and just out of idle curiosity, did you ever serve in the military? Or the Peace Corps?
OTOH, I totally agree with you re: the income tax!
I’ve been an advocate and activist for the FAIRtax since 1991 (it was the National Retail Sales Tax, then), and the single best “fixit thing” that President Trump and the Congress could do is replace the income tax with the FAIRtax and abolish the IRS!

Check my tagline, please.
PS I was not aware that Ophonybama tried to push this concept.
The ONLY thing Ophonybama EVER did that I approved of was his haircut!
