Why no National Call to Service? Why not empower the youth of this nation and motivate them to be part of something larger than themselves? The President has not once, not ever, asked for people to join Americorps, Peace Corps, or the US Military, despite informing us rather consistently that we are indeed at war. This has always bugged me, why not ask for volunteers? Instead, the only thing he has ever asked of the American public is to shop. Had the president asked for people to join the military when he addressed the nation that evening on September 11th, 2001, the recruiting offices would have been overwhelmed. Instead we simply overwhelmed our creditors, and shopped away.
