It is my sincere hope that no one from the States of Wyoming, Texas, South Carolina, Kansas or Georgia gets the opportunity to build skills and volunteer for good causes, and that no one from those states benefits from the work of those who would volunteer. It will cost each taxpayer 3 entire dollars in the year 2010 to fund GIVE (Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education), according to govtrack.us, and apparently the constituents from the abovenamed states have neither the money or the desire to spend the money on volunteerism, nor the wish to benefit from volunteer programs. Ask Cynthia Lummis, for one. She voted NO.
The bill passed the House and is heading to the Senate. Here's what it looks like:
I know; you'd hate to have to pony up a couple bucks for that, huh? I have a better idea: let's send our pocket change to the guys at AIG who elected to return their bonuses. They're probably flat broke by now.
