Current fiscal policies represent a massive wealth transfer from young to old. Framing national service as a direct, large-scale investment in youth counteracts this economic imbalance, shifting national priorities and resources back to the next generation, effectively fighting a 'generational war' through policy.

National service offers a structured "gap year" for boys, whose emotional maturity often lags their development. It acts as a "societal take-two," providing a second chance to mature and find direction without immediate academic or career pressures, specifically addressing a cohort in crisis.

A key reason for past legislative success was that leaders shared a common identity forged in military service. Reinstating mandatory national service could create 'connective tissue' among diverse young people, fostering a unified identity as citizens first and foremost, before individual identity groups.

When police departments face severe staffing shortages due to cultural vilification, they may lower hiring standards. This can lead to hiring individuals with criminal backgrounds, who then commit heinous acts as officers, further damaging public trust and exacerbating the original problem.

To compete with high private sector salaries, the U.S. Tech Force frames its roles as a service to the country, akin to the Peace Corps. This reframes the value proposition away from pure compensation and towards civic duty and resume prestige, making it more appealing to mission-driven talent who might otherwise not consider public sector work.

A serious approach to the affordability crisis requires a multi-year strategy targeting the biggest cost drivers: housing (massive supply increase), healthcare (nationalization), and education (income-based tuition), combined with aggressive antitrust enforcement. Piecemeal solutions from either party fail to address the systemic nature of the problem.

To fix the student debt crisis, universities should be financially on the hook for the first portion of any loan default (e.g., $20,000). This "first loss" position would compel them to underwrite the economic viability of their own degrees, creating a powerful market check against pushing students into overpriced and low-value programs.

To combat staffing shortages and appeal to younger generations, some police departments are using high-tech, visually appealing equipment like Teslas and Cybertrucks. This serves as a powerful marketing and recruitment tool, making the job more attractive to potential candidates.

The problem isn't that college is inherently bad, but that the U.S. system creates a moral hazard. Government-guaranteed, non-dischargeable loans remove any incentive for universities to be competitive on price or deliver value, allowing them to become "parasitic" organizations that saddle students with crippling debt.
