Fox News: House Readies Passage of Volunteerism Bill Critics Call Pricey, Forced Service
There is growing concern about a portion of the bill that tasks a commission to "exploring a number of topics, including "whether a workable, fair and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the nation."
No estimate has been given yet regarding how much this legislation will cost the taxpayers, as service members are often given college scholarships or stipends when they finish their term of service.
