Mandatory Volunteerism?

From the American Thinker Blog:

The “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act” (GIVE act). HR 1388 has already passed the House and is on its way to the Senate.

You can read the final version of the House bill here. The legislation is a long string of amendments to existing laws that make it almost impossible to understand. (Really. This legislation is incomprehensible. I challenge you to click on this link and try to read the bill.)

There appears to be little volunteerism and almost no education in the bill. But there are a lot of make-work government jobs for doing God only knows what.

Part of it sounds like the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps from the 1930's) and part of it sounds like socialism. Read the whole thing, and if you don't like it, call your Senator.
