It's cool actually, those school janitors could just become hospital janitors instead. I think they'd prefer that immensely, considering they'd be able to find a mildly effeminate doctor to constantly annoy with no consequences whatsoever. Nobody fucks with the All-Knowing Janitor.

You know, I could kind of understand this if he said this was some kind of government cost cutting initiative. It would still be wrong on just about every level but would make at least a little sense, but how the hell does one claim that firing janitors who currently have a job, and putting kids who are not even in the job market yet their positions create jobs?
All this will do is increase the number of unemployed people. Are the republican presidential candidates really that screwed in the head? Are they having some weird twisted contest amongst themselves to see who can say the most blatantly incorrect and morally wrong thing and still get support? Are the republican candidates epic level real life trolls, because I cant honestly believe that someone can be this blatantly stupid and not be called out publicly on it.

They are being called out on it, Sylvana. Just not by other Republicans.

Yes, the cure for our unemployment problem is to fire a bunch of people and hire children to do the job, undoubtedly at lower wages and without union benefits. That makes perfect sense Newt you horrible bastard!

Clearly he wants small government, and less government involvement in institutions... by actively firing people and making the students do labor.

And what about oil well fires? And building demolition? We've got kids up the kazoo. Let's put 'em to work.

I say we fire the GOP presidential candidates and replace them with children. Not only would it employ them, they'd actually do a better job than the [people who pass as] adults.

Well, as long as they don't identify as GOP themselves.

What if they identify as Gay On Pokémon?

What if they identify as Gay On Pokémon? Then it's time to go on a witch hunt because someone clearly molestered them over Pokemon Black/White's online service.

I'm amazed I still get the "proven scientific fact" that homosexuality is caused by molestation so often. I guess some things are just too dumb to die.

I could see offering traineeships/apprenticeships or something like that for high schoolers above, say, 14 and a half (might give those who will inevitably drop out somewhere to go to establish an employment history).
Nine year olds though? Might as well go the whole hog and reinstitute Dickensian workhouses.

Which is pretty much what Newt wants to do. Oh I know he says it's for helping out the poor but we all know what this is.
Ironbite-if he thinks we don't, he's stupider then we give him credit.
