I like the national service act. Even though it might sound like a crazy idea, a lot of good could come from it (and I think there should be a second one for people 43 to 80). You would have had millions of people volunteering to help the hurricane victims rebuild their homes and get them (or whoever is next) back on their feet.
You would have large groups of people to help the homeless (and they would even have to serve). You could have large amounts of people cleaning up cities and doing busywork and paperwork for the police, fire and EMS workers.
It would even the playing field between the rich kids and the poor kids if everyone had to work. And the military recruitment numbers would probably go up if you have to serve, might as well get paid for it.
And then if they start college at age 20, they might appreciate it more than just 4-5 more years of school without the parents around.
