Youth Opportunity Agenda: Robbing Americans of Responsibility

Last week Hillary's campaign released her "Youth Opportunity Agenda" which claims to address the "silent crisis of disconnected youth." This plan focuses mainly on minorities, or as she likes to call them "at risk" youth. She begins by saying that we need to close the Early Achievement Gap. To do this, she will invest $10 billion of taxpayers money into Universal Preschool, which is where she thinks the problems with education and getting a decent job begin. She next wants to give $100 million to expand mentoring and support programs during the summer for at risk middle- and high-school students. Which is just another way of relieving parents of their parental responsibilities.

She will also extinguish racial and sex discrimination in the labor market by restoring the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division to its "historic role that vigorously enforces people's civil rights." The term "vigorously enforce" is a bit frightening, leaving employers with no right to hire who they want to hire. Without any say so in their investment, why would anyone actually want to own or run a business?

Another factor in the plan to suppress this "silent crisis" is to reward responsible fatherhood, or give financial incentives to fathers who actually pay their child support. But there is no mention of rewarding fathers who actually raise their children, who emotionally and financially support their family day in and day out. Sen. Clinton's final phase of this Youth Opportunity Agenda is to "close the prison revolving door." In this she will give $200 million to programs aimed at reintegrating the offenders into the economy and society.

As the new Clinton government expands, there will be absolutely no personal responsibility and no consequences, and minorities will be given highest priority. As these youths targeted by Hillary's plan grow older they will be even less accountable adults having never had to work or put forth any real effort to achieve anything. This Agenda will destroy whatever is left of respect, responsibility, pride and ethics in this country.
