Are You a Pregnant Teenage Crackhead? Massachusetts Has a Job For You
Summer jobs are going to be made available to teenagers in Massachusetts when the federal stimulus money rolls in. Hard working, studious, clean cut teenagers who are well behaved and trying to live life the right way are going to be lining up to get these jobs. They will be left waiting.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has decided to hand out these well sought after jobs to pregnant teenagers, drug addicts, teenagers who can’t speak English, and teenage criminals instead.
Criminal offenders, teen moms, dropouts, runaways and other wayward youths will score summer jobs with federal stimulus cash as most Bay State kids desperately scramble to land coveted seasonal gigs in a tight economy.
The jobs do come with qualifications though:
- Lacking basic skills.
- Pregnant or parenting
- School dropout
- Homeless or runaway
- Court-involved or an “offender”
- An English as a Second Language learner or an immigrant
So teenagers who are trying hard at school and who are honest and trying to do things the right way will have no opportunity to secure a nice Summer job while delinquents and non-English speaking immigrants will be rewarded under the governor’s plan.
What message does this send to the children? It tells the children that if you work hard and try to play by the rules you are going to get screwed while at the same time it sends the message that you will be rewarded for bad behavior.
Children who are criminals, crackheads, and all around deadbeats and bad apples will be rewarded for their bad behavior. What incentive is their for these teenagers to try to turn their lives around when they will be given everything? If they are rewarded for bad behavior it will incentivize bad behavior while at the same time de- incentivize good behavior.
Why should teenagers in Massachusetts try to do things the right way if the government in Massachusetts dissuades them by rewarding those who are habitual lawbreakers? This plan is counter-productive to the parents in Massachusetts who are instilling the proper values in their children and it is counter-productive to the well behaved children of the state.
This is exactly what is wrong with society today.

I wrote a post a while ago about looking to Massachusetts as an indicator of what we will see in the US shortly thereafter. The parallels have been staggering so far. Let’s hope they wisen up soon, because the US can’t handle this mockery of logic and sense.

God I hope you are wrong about the country emulating Massachusetts!

Most of the programs that are and will be enacted by those on the left are aimed, not at helping the average citizen who is trying to do the right thing, but at those who have abused themselves and have little if any desire to help themselves. These people are waiting with out-stretched hands to eagarly take what the government offers for their votes and support. And liberal politicians are fighting to see who can fill these out-stretched hands first. Fill those hands with tax-payers money.

Typical, the stimulus was just designed to throw the world biggest bone to all of the left’s pet projects.
