    Yeah that’s all fine but it’s blocked by one of two major political parties in the US doesn’t believe government should exist. At best they’d support a privatized version of the that siphoned money out and didn’t help people that need help.

    We’re going to struggle to get anything done as long as conservatives are treated as if they have any merit.

      No, I think that’s actually the beauty of this. The OP meme is a right wing meme. A national civil service is a right wing position.

      I think there’s a way to craft this program in a hugely bipartisan way. You get all the “patriotism, one nation, farms and country” stuff the right wants, and all the “infrastructure improvements, social safety nets, free college” stuff the left wants.

      I think there’s a real potential to get some solid bipartisanism here.
