In the 321 to 105 vote on March 18, 2009 the House voted to expand the AmeriCorps National Service organization. This bill will cost the taxpayer more than $1 billion per year for the next five years. AmeriCorps "volunteers" receive stipends for their work between $11,000 to $23,000 per year. Last time I checked, "volunteers" were not financially compensated.
