The types of things mentioned in this thread, repair of the infrastructure and AmeriCorp jobs, in the past were those things that our government used to put people back to work, a la the alphabet soup programs of the New Deal. We certainly don't need anything to drive wages down even further.


Plus, I agree with the poster who noted that the people enacting such service legislation would be exempt. Perhaps if it was *truly* universal, did not include military service and fell under David Bacon so as to require the payment of prevailing wages, I could possibly maybe perhaps support it weakly. :)
