mbga9pgf,
Before I start where did u get that name
As to your post. I am considered on here by many as a leftie/luvvie. I personally do not label myself but there you go.
However, I agree with you to some degree. My idea is one that has been mooted many times before and that is the re-introduction of National Service. However, rather than make for all at a certain age instead make it for those unable to get and keep a job, both male and female, between 18 and 55.
I would suggest that it be set out in this manner.
1) If you have been unemployed for more than 12 months, then you go.
2) If you have had a job in the last 12 months but it lasted less than 6 months and you are now unemployed, then you go.
3) You serve for 5 years
4) After 5 years you are offered 2 choices: stay in or take one of 3 jobs offered to you. These jobs are guaranteed to last for at least 2 years financially speaking, however if you are fired or leave you go straight back to the forces and start from scratch.
This is only the bare bones of an idea so I would be interested what everyone else has to say about it.
Cheers
BHR
