Where did you get that information? The $40 an hour I mean.”

NObama campaigned all along on the “$4000 grant for college tuition in return for 100 hours of ‘community service’” That works out to paying a college student $40 per hour for doing what????? Working phone banks for NObama?

I have worked for the past 52 years. I haven’t ever made $40/hour. College kids that cannot cut their hair and do other personal grooming don’t deserve $40 an hour of taxpayer money.
For that matter- most of the people paying taxes don’t make $40/hour. Why should their tax money be paid at that rate to a “college student”?????

I don’t agree with the “requirement” part of it.

If I can afford the extra $4,000 a year, but am forced to do community service, that is SLAVE LABOR.

I don’t like this attitude of “Well, that’s a good bit of money! What’s wrong with that?” What’s wrong is that the government is FORCING college students to do community service while not requiring recipients of welfare to do anything.
