Time Magazine's Front Cover Story on Serving the State

Time has a front cover story on "national service".Here's one part of the Time magazine plan:

Right now, the Corporation for National and Community Service — created in 1993 to manage AmeriCorps, Senior Corps and Learn and Serve America — is a small, independent federal agency. Find a catchier name, streamline its responsibilities and bring it up to Cabinet level. This would show that the new President means business when it comes to national service and would recognize that service is integral to how America thinks of itself — and how the President thinks of America. And don't appoint a gray bureaucrat to this job; make it someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Mike Bloomberg, who would capture the imagination of the public. In fact, the next President — whatever party — should set a goal to enlist at least 1 million Americans annually in national service by the year 2016.

A new cabinet level department and Time magazine thinks Americans are going to be feeling better about serving the state.Do you know many gun owner's who want to serve under someone like Mayor Bloomberg? No wonder Time's circulation is down 17% in one year.
