With Obama's New Bill, Americorp will be bigger than

The Department of Homeland Security! The $5.7 billion National Service bill calls for tripling the size of Americorps. Currently that organization has over 70,000 members, which means over 210,000 when Obama's plans for it are completed. We thought the federal budget was getting bloated when Prs. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security, which has around 200,000. But most of those weren't new to the federal budget because the DHS simply absorbed several existing agencies under its umbrella. What The Central Committee just passed into law is a 14,000 person increase in the Federal Government... and a budget increase of $5.7 billion that will have to be increased every year until further notice. So friends and neighbors, this means that either Obama is just off to a good start in his dream of a civilian security force, or this has nothing to do with that and he's still got plans up his sleeve to bring millions more under the Federal Government security blanket.
