Republicans or Democrats, both are trying to debunk all those obvious problems we the rest already are aware off.
They are trying to say it´s all going to be okay, I say WHATEVER...  |

Oh, I heard about that one. They want six years of indocterination and slavery. Oh, and I'm not about to have some ex-Israeli soldier telling me what it is to "be American".
Here is another one from our favorite senator...Kennedy. This one is aimed at the baby boomer generation who just lost their 401ks.
http://www.encore.org/news/centerpiece-news/encore-agenda-kennedy-ha
At the ServiceNation Summit in New York City, Senators Edward M. Kennedy and Orrin Hatch introduced “a sweeping new national service bill” to recruit 175,000 Americans for work in health, education, environmental protection and anti-poverty programs, the Boston Globe reports.
The legislation includes provisions for Encore Fellowships aimed at older adults making the transition from their primary careers to encore careers in areas of critical need, such as education, health care and nonprofit management.
“While many volunteer programs now attract young college graduates willing to work for low salaries before settling into better-paid jobs, the Kennedy-Hatch plan would give older Baby Boomers an opportunity to take time off for community service, perhaps transitioning into a second career,” the Boston Globe reported.
The Kennedy-Hatch plan would provide approximately $5 billion over five years. Corps members would be paid stipends or modest salaries for a year of work on specific national problems. Employers could get tax cuts for giving workers time off to do community service. A venture capital fund would invest in new service organizations.
Sen. John McCain, who discussed his own proposals for national service at the ServiceNation candidates’ forum September 11, is a cosponsor of the Kennedy-Hatch bill. His office said the bill includes:
Service Learning: Authorizes new grant program to make direct competitive grants to eligible partnerships to carry out service-learning programs with disengaged youth in secondary schools and authorizes the Corporation for National Service to designate up 20 institutions each year as “Campuses of Service.” While the grants authorized under this section come directly from the Corporation to the recipients, state service commissions and departments of education are listed as eligible applicants, allowing state agencies to compete alongside school district partnerships.
Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Establishes a “Commission on Cross-Sector Solutions to America’s Problems,” Community Solutions Funds and Innovation Fellowships.
Service Corps: Directs the Corporation to establish new accounts to fund grant programs including Education Corps, Community Health Access Corps, Clean Energy Corps, Opportunity Corps and Reserve Corps.
Civic Health Index: The Corporation will establish a “Civic Health Index” and will provide data on the progress and effectiveness of various civic programs and initiatives.
Serve America And Encore Fellowships: Serve America Fellowships are administered almost entirely at the state level, allowing the states to continue to be laboratories of innovation for volunteer service programs. Eligible organizations also include faith-based organizations. Encore Fellowships provide another incentive to Baby Boomers to utilize their experience in the volunteer sector. Reports indicate that the transferrable education award is a significant incentive for potential participants.
Volunteer Generation Fund(VGF): Directs the Corporation to award competitive three- to five-year grants to support the recruitment, management and training of volunteers to carry out activities benefiting low-income individuals. VGF will increase the capacity of smaller groups, including churches and faith-based organizations, to engage more Americans in helping their communities.
International Programs: The bill will improve upon and expand the existing Volunteers for Prosperity Program, providing opportunities for international volunteer service. The bill will expand the Peace Corps, allowing for the improvement of its long-standing mission to provide service in developing countries. |

Sounds like the makings of civilian labor brigades to me. They know the wheels are coming off the applecart. Have you been listening to these Bailout hearings. It's clear that instead of propping up the housing forcluse market. The thieving bastard bankers took the money and bought up failing banks. It amounts to lending a friend his morgage payment, only to find he used it to pay off his bookie, and drug dealer.
Just what is it going to take to piss these people off  |

Getting back to Vincent "The Schemer" Drucci aka "THE BEDBUG"...
He once tried to strangle Al Capone in a Chicago Hotel Sauna with a towel but was prevented when one of Al's torpedoes came in to deliver a message and caught Drucci in the act....
With that, Drucci ran out of the Sauna buck naked, down several flights of stairs, past a Lobby full of people including women and children, and into a waiting getaway car...
When questioned, the witnesses stated thet saw nothing at all...  |
