Apparently sometime last night the change.gov website changed from saying "require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year" to saying community service would get people a four thousand dollar college tax credit.

If this is a true policy change, it's a step in the right direction. Now it just needs to be determined if that four thousand dollars is a true tax credit or a tax "refund".  I'd be all for a tax credit, but they'd need to figure out how to apply a credit to a group of people who, on average, don't make enough to pay four thousand a year in federal taxes.  Split it up over multiple years, perheaps?
