Do you ever think that maybe they just want us to have no money left? Today, in spite of financial crisis and basically being bankrupt the House passed a bill to “improve” volunteerism by paying volunteers (oxymoron!!). The Senate already passed it and now Obama will sign it after reading teleprompters for us at the G20 summit.
At a cost of only $32,571 per volunteer:
By creating 175,000 new service opportunities – more than tripling the number of volunteers nationwide, and rewarding those who volunteer with real investments in their education, we are launching a new era of service. This new era of service will create a stronger nation for all Americans."
The depravity and inanity of those in Congress and our President should no longer shock me.
There are already more volunteer openings than volunteers. Creating more, and paying them, is just pork for liberal young people.
Most of them hardly have the experience to “build a community” or whatever the hell they are supposed to be doing. You build a community by being a part of it not by parachuting in with ideology and earnestness.
What utter rubbish.
