Interesting note on Rangel's plan for a "draft"

He said having a draft would not necessarily mean everyone called to duty would have to serve. Instead, "young people (would) commit themselves to a couple of years in service to this great republic, whether it's our seaports, our airports, in schools, in hospitals," with a promise of educational benefits at the end of service.

So it's not really a military draft he's interested in...he's interested in making more folks dependent on Big Government by making them involuntary employees.

Yep the ultimate Socialist dream. Everyone a Govt dependent or a Govt employee. The Germans do this crap. It is utterly stupid. Think of all the new bureaucrats they would have to hire to "manage" this mess. I hope they go for it. It would have the same bitch slapping effect on our 100%ers that the Clintonites attempt to Nationalize Health Care did in 1993 .

Which will require a tax increase to pay all of those wages.
