House Puts Draft Rumors To Rest...For Now
by Joe?Pulcinella
The US House voted 402-2 against the Rangel bill to reinstate the draft. Although this is a good thing, it is by no means a done deal. HillaryCare was quashed and then reappeared as Medicare Reform and other piecemeal programs?in the Bush administration.
President Bush has been quoted as saying:
Speaking to Iowa voters Monday, Bush said, "We will not have a draft so long as I am president of the United States."
Personally, I feel that there may be a symantic problem with that statement due to his pushing of a National Service plan. This is not a secret nor is it a rumor. The link provided goes right to a House website. They don't call it a draft but what's in a name? Once you're inducted into national service (indentured servitude to the State, in other words), who will be in charge of determining what services the State needs?
