Yes, inject millions of slave labourers into an already struggling sector. I'm sure the people losing their jobs because they've been replaced by someone who is being forced to do it for free will appreciate the sentiment.
It's like some people watched the Chinese building cities just because they could, that are now crumbling because there's no one to live in them, and said to themselves "What a great idea! We should do that!". |

Socialism starts out looking attractive. Lets give all 18-20 year old a paid internship. Help them learn an occupation while they work. Of course, this will kill private trade schools, and it will limit jobs after the internship - but that's ok.

So, to all that argued against it because we are free men...who shouldn't be forced to pick cotton or pave roads....
Should we force young men to fight and die in musty jungles for no reason? In other words, are you intellectually consistent? Do you hold draft dodgers to be heroes or cowards? |

YES... if it becomes TRULY necessary, we may have to draft young men to defend our borders (though of course I hope it never comes to that). But we don't seem to care about or borders or security anymore... so, I guess there's no point of a draft anyways... |

Fuck that.
Labor cost is probably the biggest thing keeping our bloated government as small as it is. The last thing we want to give them is free labor.

Is the government a bank, that it should pick and choose which businesses it thinks should BE in business and grant loans for them from the public trough? |

I have said for some time that after high school there should be two years of mandatory service.
Don't want to join the military? How about the Peace Corp or something similar? in exchange you get some money for college or trade school and get to grow up a little before you go drink away 4 years of your life while paying $30K to skip class. I went to college after 6 years in the Army and best thing I could of done. If I had gone right out of HS I would have failed out. |

It would be like israel"s military service, bUT for public works. myself, I am not for this. I merely offer it for discussion. I lol at the notion of 16yo cheerleaders being forced to build bridges - and not drafting females is just sexist. It's a rather blatant bit of indentured servitude, but at least it is more sensible than the idiot idea of drafting everyone into the military. We could use a few million people fixing the roads and bridges, those millions being bored and stuck in garrison stateside is just pointless. If it were optional, for people 18 and up, and paid off student loans completely after you'd served your term, yes. Otherwise, no. |

It's called being too clever by half. "Cheeky" is fun, because it requires brains and isn't too serious. "Clever" is tedious, because it's usually boorish semantics designed to show how smart somebody is, while simultaneously undermining making progress toward that goal. "Wit" is often confused for "obvious technique" around here by those who think themselves witty, but prove themselves to be boorish. IMO. |
