The WPA Program was kinda like this. And many countries have compulsory military service.

I think every American should spend maybe 18-20 in public service, and earn a basic wage. Let them go crazy when the crazy is most crazy, and make them do good honest work for their fellow man.

Then let them loose in the workforce, better human beings.

It's a lovely idea but I don't think we will live to see it happen.
