Welcoming the New Brownshirts
Go read it all over at MuscleDaddy’s site. I’m too busy trying to get more ammo for Bruce before they outlaw it all
Now this only makes reference to language-revisions for this section of the Bill, but THIS LINK will take you to the ‘Benefits’ section itself – to wit:
(a) In general
The Director shall provide for members of the Civilian Community Corps to receive benefits authorized by this section.(b) Living allowance
The Director shall provide a living allowance to members of the Corps for the period during which such members are engaged in training or any activity on a Corps project. The Director shall establish the amount of the allowance at any amount not in excess of the amount equal to 100 percent of the poverty line that is applicable to a family of two (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget and revised annually in accordance with section 9902 (2) of this title.[1](c) Other authorized benefits

(2) Quarters.
(3) Subsistence.

(6) Clothing.
(7) Recreational services and supplies.
(8) Other services determined by the Director to be consistent with the purposes of the Program.(and there’s more)So – Wages, Housing, Subsistence (food), Transportation & Clothing.
Now, over the years, I’ve built a couple of ‘Habitat’ houses, done pro-bono Legal Advocacy for the local domestic violence shelter and volunteered with a small-town migrant-farm-worker association.
But reading through THAT list of ‘Benefits’, what has become clear is that I’ve apparently lost track of where “Volunteering” ends and where “Working on the Government Collective” begins…. Or is it just me?
So, if your school takes any grant money, guess what! You’ve just volunteered!! Course, if everyone stops taking grant money that would fix it – until they amend the law that forces you to take the money.
