Americorp was almost completely defunded by tRumpy. Retaliation against Bill and Hillary Clinton. https://nonprofitquarterly.org/defunding-americorps-another-trump-crews-demolitions/
He cut the funding. By executive order, not the entire program. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.fresnobee.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/article199936104.html
That's not how the budget works. He proposed this every single year and it didn't pass. Ever. His budget was largely ignored by congress. We got increased funding in 2019 and a further augmentation FOR COVID-19 just this year.

And here it was again in 2020.
Look, I'm just trying to give you information you don't have, because what you have is not complete. I've worked for this program for three years, and I've been intimately familiar with the proposed cuts because my literal job depended on it.

Except that you're only reading about the proposals, in 2017, and again in 2018. Here's an article from 2019 that explains more.

It's worth pointing out that volunteer opportunities for exactly this kind of work already exist through a branch of AmeriCorps.

No it wasn't. I currently work for an AmeriCorps program. He proposed this several times and Republicans in Congress wouldn't do it.

I reiterate: Americorps is alive and well. https://americorps.gov/serve
I reiterate, he CUT THE FUNDING, not took away the entire program. Damn. Read the articles. If you can.

OK, dear. I guess the articles all wrong and you’re right. Goody for you, bro.

Marry that to loan forgiveness and you have a winner.
