This sounds like a really great idea. AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps are both excellent organizations.

It sounds like a great concept, like a modern day equivalent of the CCC, in an era where Millennials that suffered heavily under the Great Recession and the War in Iraq, can both provide positive contributions to American Society, while simultaneously getting real job training and employment history in an era, where even in the fast food sector in many parts of the country, employers would rather hire people with an actual work history, rather than someone with some college or military experience that might not be a good longer term fit for the team.

This is actually quite visionary, as it addresses a lot of the issues that stem from a lack of understanding one another right now.

I see nothing wrong with this. Obama proposed something similar right at the start of his Presidency, but it had a poison pill creating a commission to study universal national service.

Get back to me when Clinton proposes banning a religion, rounding up millions of people for mass deportations, legalizing torture, and abandoning our allies to pursue a rogue military and nuclear war agenda.

In the mean time, try educating yourself about topics before you comment on them.

Yeah, yeah Trump Trump.  Ok, more the lament is over why 5 million volunteers is needed for something that could be a job for those unemployed?  But yes, she's Ms. Collectivist and wants happy, shiny cogs all working toward the cause.  I despise collectivism, groupthink, whatever you want to call it.

Are you seriously comparing AmeriCorps and the PeaceCorps to Nazi programs? Have you done any real research into what these programs are?

Comparing Peacecorps and Americorps with the Hitler Youth shows either a complete lack of knowledge or a complete disregard for the victims of the Nazis. Or both.

You care about humour? Let me try one. When Trump raped your father, did he oink? Ain't it a great joke?

As long as it's completely voluntary and we still try to fix the ridiculous cost of a college degree (by cutting down on university waste, not by making other people pay for it), this sounds like a pretty good idea.

This was an O'Malley policy. I'm a big supporter, we need to expand these programs.

Vote for her to make sure this policy, among many other good ones, has a shot.

This is expanding on one of her first proposals, back in summer of 2015, I posted a thread on it here.

If you ask me, she should start pushing loads of positive policy-laden ads based on this idea and others. Let Trump supply his own negatives by his endless spiral.
