<> Well that wasn't my perception of what Newt was saying. He was talking about teaching children the value of a job while in school. I think he had a good idea, but of course it was demonized by those on the left that wanted to make it about race or child labour. The same people that consider a minor child to be a 26 year old, but want to teach grade schoolers about all kinds of sexual activities. But as far as more government employees, yes it's time to thin the herd IMO too.
