An Idea for my Commie Friend Veronica

I have an idea for Veronica and her communist friends. 


Actually, this might actually be a good idea. I don't know. You be the judge. This is an idea tha would use gubmint money to end unemployment, and spark private sector growth. You tell me.


OK Here it is. "Road Corps". 


Anyone of school age, who leave school, will have 5 choices by law. If you really want to use legislation to motivate people towards the light, I think this might be it, and might actually be constitutional. Ready? Here we go.


When you leave high school, you must do one of five things, otherwise you will be placed in jail, or a mental institution:




1. Join the military


You all know number one. Many of us have joined the military. It is a great learning experience and usually results in nice young successful conservative alumni...



2. Go to college


College, oh, college, whatever.




3. Get a job



Yeah, get a job, like most of us. Results in normality on a planetary scale.



The last two options are new. You have to pick from one of five. If not, you get arrested, and depending on your mental condition, you are either committed to an institution or placed in jail until you decide to change something ... I don't know, that's kind of a grey area, but anyway, let us move on.



4. THE ROAD CORPS


This is a government funded operation that builds roads, railways, ditches, canals, what-ever-the-heck. You live in a camp, generally enjoy yourself, but work like I did when I was 19. Maybe you pick fruit and clean stuff too. You can also live "off camp" if you have a family and are currently maintaining a home. Camps have day care too, so both parents can work for the Road Corps. All of the administrative staff are Road Corps workers, even professionals. There could be Road Corps doctors and medics. Supposed you are a medic who can't find a job. You report to the Road Corps office. Suppose the Road Corps does not need any more medics. They hand you a shovel until a suitable position opens up. You don't like that, but you can't find a job, so your only option (because you are too good to dig a ditch) is...


5. DECLARE INDEPENDENCE


Also like me at age 19, you are responsible for yourself. The GOV does nothing for you, and you do nothing for it. You are an independent, free soul with no claims on anyone, and a person who takes care of them selves entirely. You do not live for the sake of others, and others do not live for your sake.  Suppose you are the Prima donna medic from our explanation of option 4. Maybe you ARE too good to dig a ditch.  You hit the streets with your lawn mower and start going door to door. Pretty soon, you are the owner of a large, successful landscaping company.


I bet that if "The Five" were to be introduced, there would be a huge number of "Fivers" out there, living free, without the tyranny of this god forsaken nanny state, and fewer and fewer losers opting to be Road Corps voluntarily. But that would be okay, and that is a government tit that I could live with.
