I've laid out a list of goals and policies which our government could implement in order to create jobs in the private sector. I know this was a topic on a different thread, but didn't want to go off topic. How do you guys feel about the following bill?

Prepare youth and unskilled adults for entry into labor force.
Provide job training to economically disadvantaged individuals.
Carry out summer adult and youth programs.
Provide employment and training assistance for dislocated workers.
Establish a racially and gender diverse National Employment Commission.
Extend unemployment benefits by 20 weeks.
Extend unemployment benefits through recessions.
Restrict employer interference in union organizing.
Keep minimum wage as is in order to maintain a lower cost of living.
Allow for Air Traffic Controller's to unionize.
Secret ballot as opposed to card check.
Ban discriminatory compensation by allowing 2 years to sue.
Stronger enforcement against gender based pay discrimination.

 
Adult and Youth Programs:

Maintain networks of learning centers to prepare students to meet state and local general education diploma competency requirements.

Provide a pre-employment skills training program for youth from ages 14 to 21, with priority given to those who do not meet established academic achievement levels and plan on entering the labor force after graduation.

Provide for an entry employment experience program for youth who meet certain requirements.

Provide for a school to work transition assistance program for high school seniors with an economic disadvantage and dropouts.

 
Native Americans and Seasonal Workers:

Establish administrative procedures and machinery for the selection, administration, monitoring, and evaluation of Native American and Seasonal farmworker employment and training programs through the Department of Labor.

Set forth employment for seasonal farmworkers by requiring public agencies and non-profit organizations to administer a diversified employable development program for them.

Labor Department to work with state and local officials in administering national farmworker programs.


Job Corps:

Maintains a Job Corps for disadvantaged youth to operate exclusively as a distinct national program.

Labor Department will make payments to organizations for the cost of recruitment, screening, and selection.

Arrange for advanced career training programs for selected members for one additional year of Corps participation. Work with businesses and labor unions.

Provide Corps enrollees with allowances and support.

Secretary of Defense to arrange pilot projects at Job Corps Centers to prepare youth for military service. Work with community based organizations.

Allow for charitable donations to Job Corps. 

Veterans- Conduct programs to meet training needs of disabled veterans recently separated from military service.

 
Summer Youth Employment and Training Programs:

Target specific territories for summer youth program.
Teach job training activities designed for employment preparation and retention.
Require programs to be conducted during summer months.
Economically disadvantaged people under the age of 22 are eligible for such programs.


Employment Training Assistance for Dislocated Workers:

25% of appropriations for this bill go to the states to help with job training programs, mass layoffs, and natural disasters.

Authorize states to identify a list of eligible citizens who have been laid off, terminated, are long term unemployed, or have limited opportunities for employment.

Require full consultation with a labor organization before states are given further assistance.

Require states to submit a plan for the use of assistance including provisions for coordinating programs, energy conservation programs, and social services.

I would be fine with all of those. But realize that the opposition to those things comes from your own party, not from the Democrats. Job training programs and employment commissions cost money. And we can't be spending money on losers and moochers and takers.

Most opposition would come from the conservative wing of my party. Those who benefit from the program wouldn't be moochers if they learned job skills. I hope most people also see that many of those who would benefit from this bill are disabled and underprivileged.

How do you guys feel about the following bill?
It's pretty good. I wish it was real.

I'd like to see it implemented and can see Obama supporting it actually. What party are you in? You seem to be new here.

I'm an independent but I would probably side with the Democrats.

I assume they would support the bill, so yes, and yes, in general.

This combined with tax cuts would jump start the economy. By the time companies were ready to hire again, we'd have thousands of people with the job skills to do well at their positions.

Does this seem like more of a Democrat idea?

Yes.

The proper grammar for the political party you're talking about in this sentence would be Democratic. You say Democratic Party, but a person is a Democrat. A state can be Democratic but can go to the Democrats, not the Democrat Party.

I'm alright with that though. Practicality and pragmatism are more important than ideology.
