Job Conscription???...............…?
I know the U.S. Government says it wouldn't reinstate wartime conscription unless its really needed, but with the high unemployment rates couldn't it be possible to "conscript" people to fill certain jobs.
Couldn't the government to come up with major job creating projects or see what critical professions the country is lacking in (doctors, engineers, teachers, chemist, etc.) and create/ fill job spots with laid off workers.
i'm sure if they revitalized a impoverished city like detroit and bring back the auto plants, they could find many people who got laid off in other parts of the country.
Many people don't want to get drafted into the military, but if they knew they were going to get a well paying job i'm sure many people wouldn't mind getting their number called.
The government spends millions and even billions on drafting people for military service, why couldn't they spend that much money on revitalizing the economy and stimulating job growth throughout the country.

In addition to what Brain said...
it may be "Just an Idea" but it is a very bad and not well thought out idea. Sorry but true.

You can't just take a guy off the street and say 'You're gonna be a Doctor". If you were to do as you suggest, this is what you would wind up with...
Dead patients... from your Doctors
Flawed Machines that fall apart and hurt people.... From your engineers
Dumb kids that didn't learn a damn thing... From your teachers
And Meth cookers.... from your Chemists.
this idea of yours is like many ideas from liberals. Mearly wishful thinking will "make it so"
Ohh good idea, Lets just make Jobs and Give them to everyone without one! Problem solved.
Wishful thinking.
Reality does not work like the nice little socialist theories tell us it does.
Creating jobs is not so simple as ordering more from the distributor when supplies get low.
It's just as bad an idea and for the same fantasy logic as simply printing more money to combat the national debt.

What about the Korean "convenience women"? They were conscripted into service as prostitutes for the eastern squaddies and transported everywhere in the Pacific. besides the undeniable fact that spoke of as prostitutes they were under no circumstances paid and dealt with horribly. in route of the top of the marketing campaign contained in the Philippines, as Japan withdrew they in simple terms shot or bayoneted the relaxation women in position, truly than problem with the care and feeding as they pulled again from the combating. Japan denied this pastime till the ninety's, at the same time as the authorities finally known using the females and paid a minuscule retribution charge to the survivors.

Conscription is a liberty violation. It's authorized when the republic is at risk. You can't take people's liberty away and force them into labor to get the economy going.
