re abolish selective service in article visser convex convex com visser convex com lance visser writes dave borden borden head cfa harvard edu wrote the selective service registration should be abolished to start with the draft is immoral whether you agree with that or not we don t have one now and military experts agree that the quality of the armed forces is superior with a volunteer army than with draftees finally the government has us on many lists in many computers the irs social security admistration and motor vehicle registries to name a few and it can find us if it needs to maintaining yet another list of people is an utter waste of money and time let s axe this whole department and reduce the deficit a little bit more gridlock talk from another relic of the past the selective service system creates jobs and is an investment in the future of america and whats wrong with that do we want to create jobs or do we want jobs created that are productive in our supply demand economy if your answer is the former then we can just round up all jobless people and pay them to build sandcastles in the desert if you answer the latter then i fail to see how another bureaucracy produces anything we need jobs because at this point in the recovery the economy should have generated billion jobs and since it has not the government has to step in and help shutting down selective service would cost good jobs and we can t do that what we really need is to involve selective service in a more closely directed manner we need the selective service involved in environmental protection high speed rail commuter aircraft civil rights national service and health care every dollar we put into selective service now will get us less spending in future i really believe now to think about it that selective service is long past due for the creation of a cabinet position your not beyond hope just get back on america s side and start doing your part for change what bill needs from you now is support for the economic stimulus and health care reform you need to devote all your energies to fighting gridlock and supporting change get on the team after all the evil has been banished from washington and the time for complaint is past being neccessary and remember bill clinton cares he may someday even have a town meeting in your city if your an appropriate sort of person if you phrase your questions properly and show the proper respect and awe you might have the chance to ask mr president your question in person oh i get it this is sarcastic right
