Question by RLP: Obama: Does hiring youth to lobby a Council for more money for youth hiring make sense?
They are already 50 % OVER BUDGET just giving youth “busy work” to stay out of trouble. Shouldn’t the PARENTS be doing that???

On Monday, District residents’ tax dollars went to pay Summer Youth Employment Program participants to attend a Council oversight session at which they lobbied for more funding for the program.

It’s just the latest outrage surrounding one of D.C.’s best-intentioned and worst-run programs.

SYEP, which hires about 20,000 D.C. youth for various minimum wage summer jobs, was budgeted at $ 22.7 million. But it’s already $ 11.5 million over budget — an overrun of 50 percent.

It makes NO sense and that’s why Obama does it.
