Last night the House Appropriations Committee sent a
disturbing message to more than one million American young people: work doesn't
matter. The Committee cut more than $1.7 billion from the summer youth jobs
program -- and eliminated 615,000 summer jobs this year and another 615,000
next year.
For most of these kids, summer jobs would have offered the
first paychecks they ever had -- their first experience in the world of work.
It would be tragic if more than one million disadvantaged young people who want
to work have to find another way to spend their summer.
