One of Yang's better ideas. America needs a mandatory Mormon mission.https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1181776744535269376 …

Or, maybe a domestic version of the Peace Corps. People can serve immediately after high school. Every year served earns you a year of tuition at any public university (or that proportional amount at a private university).

I don't know what people in Peace Corps do, but I like your idea with one modification: it needs to be mandatory.

Just draft them and put them through boot camp. Learn some useful skills, and combat the obesity epidemic.

Oh I absolutely think the draft should be brought back. However I’m not a fan of using the military as a “jobs” program. But my thought does take a page out of the National Guard playbook. Most units will pay in-state tuition if you enlist.

Draft would only help with obesity if its done through a better military diet. Exercise doesn't work.

My support for bringing back the draft has nothing to do with obesity. If people want to be obese, let em be obese. I couldn’t care less. I believe in putting the skin of the voting public back in the foreign policy game.

I can see pros and cons with this. On one hand, it does make the amount of taxes paid by each individual more visible. On the other hand, that’s a substantial liquidity event that people have to plan for and grapple with, on a number that will be variable for almost everyone.

I'm sure it would go about like it does for property taxes when the bank note is paid off and the tax isn't getting put in escrow anymore... There'll be a lot of people in arrears for as long as they can be before they get squeezed.

Worse than that. The government knows where a house is. A person? Forget about it.
