So all those interns in DC working free for Senators will have to be paid with our taxes???? We would have to pay people like Monica Lewinsky???? Give me a break.

I disagree.

The problem isn’t that there are too many internships, the problem is that there are too few.

First off, my labour is my own. I can choose whether I want to get paid for it or not at all. If I choose to tutor a student out of the goodness of my own heart, that is my right.

You might say that it is unfair to other tutors that I would not charge for my labour, but again, it is my choice to offer my time and expertise.

If there were more apprenticeships and more internships, there would be more jobs. This is why Obama is attacking them, because if they are gone, he can make people more reliant on the state.

If a person wishes to sell his labour for the experience of on the job training, then we should encourage him to do so. If a person wishes to not engage in an internship, then he should not do so.

Has no one watched the “pursuit of happyness”? The key stepping stone up and out of the dead-end was the internship with a stockbroker.

You can be sure if Obama is ag’in it, we should be fur it.

Different situation really. Please go back to the thread and read some of the other responses for some examples. Thanks in advance.
