AmeriCorps: Six Years of Waste and Fraud

President Clinton is seeking to use AmeriCorps, his national service program, as the cornerstone of his presidential legacy. At last August's National Democratic Convention in Los Angeles, he boasted that "we created AmeriCorps, which already has given more than 150,000 of our young people a chance to earn some money for college by serving our communities." In a speech last year, Clinton appealed for support to expand AmeriCorps "to use this moment to prove that this generation of young people, far from being a generation of cynics and slackers, is instead a generation of doers and patriots."
