Interesting that we see the following on the same day:

Obama to Sign National Service Bill Today

The AmeriCorps program started by President Bill Clinton will triple in size over the next eight years, and tens of thousands of other Americans will soon see new opportunities to give back to their communities.

It’s all part of a $5.7 billion national service bill President Barack Obama is scheduled to sign Tuesday to foster and fulfill people’s desire to make a difference, such as by mentoring children, cleaning up parks or building and weatherizing homes for the poor.

Bolstering voluntary public service programs has been a priority of Obama, who credits his work as a community organizer in his early 20s for giving him direction in life.

The White House said Monday that the president “will call on people across the country to serve their communities and work together to tackle the nation’s tough challenges.”

Government Repays School Fees for Graduates Willing to Work in Grassroots Projects

The Chinese government will repay the school fees or bank loans for college graduates willing to work in remote and poverty-stricken areas of the country’s central and western regions, according to a notice released jointly by Finance Ministry and Education Ministry Tuesday.

Seems like some common ground on how to spend stimulus money. On the other hand, I probably should not draw any attention to this. Obama’s critics on the right will most likely use this as evidence that he is secretly in league with his true political brothers, the Commies.
