Summer youth

If by summer youth, it means those under 18 still living with mom and dad who are already supporting them with food, clothing, roof over head, then the only summer work program they need, is mowing their own lawn, cleaning house and any other chores their parent/s deem needed. They don't need to be mooching taxpayer money on top of being spoiled with cell phones and Wii, or woo or poo or whatever those games are called.

???

Just another plan for him to give money away to "those people" who chose not to work so he can get another vote in 2012.....I say oust the bowing down socialist!!! He does not represent me!!!! I am an American Patriot!!!!

Federal stimulus money

I don't think federal stimulus money should be used to support anything. The Feds should keep their nose and our money out of the private sector.

Scrap the July minimum wage

Scrap the July minimum wage hike, and employers might be able to hire some.

Stimulus Funding For Summer Jobs

As the father of children in the 14-24 year old bracket, what is wrong with our system when 20+ year olds need to be treated or referred to in the same context as teenagers? Push them out of the nest or they will be dependent on the government forever. How do we expect them to be able to pay for this when it comes due if they have to be trained to cut grass.
