I don't think this is a good idea.

I don't like this bill. It's supposed to help foster youth get jobs, but I don't think it will work. It's just another government program that will waste money. They should focus on other things instead of this. It's not fair to the rest of us who have to work hard to get ahead. This bill is a joke.
