Good luck it will never pass the House A bit of good news came out of the Senate today, as Sen. Bernie Sanders announced that his Youth Jobs Bill has advanced, and will be added to the Senate’s immigration reform bill. Senate leaders announced today that Sen. Bernie Sanders’ plan to spend $1.5 billion creating jobs for 400,000 young people age 16-24 has been added to the immigration bill. Sen. Sanders said, “At a time when real unemployment is close to 14 percent and even higher among young people and minorities, it is absolutely imperative that we create millions of decent-paying jobs in our country. The establishment of a youth employment program for 400,000 young people is a good step forward but in the months to come we must do even more.” Theoretically, Sen. Sanders should have bipartisan support. It is not a government mandate, but a grant program that would give the states extra money for job training and creation. It is a practical plan that guarantees every state grant money to help them solve the problem of youth unemployment.
