Would you trust Gordon Brown with your son’s or daughter’s future?

I wouldn’t.  Nothing against the guy personally, but I don’t want him to have anything to do with my children.

But something tells me that won’t deter the former British Prime Minister who evidently has decided that the G20 should “take the lead” in providing work for young people all over the globe.

Brown, in calling on the G20 to act, reportedly will announce Thursday that joblessness among young people has reached “epidemic proportions.”

As we say in New York, “No shoot, Sherlock.” Although we don’t say “shoot.”

But is the G20 or any of its components the solution?

The only time in history governments have successfully employed young people on a massive scale, we were all pointing rifles at one another.  And that didn’t pay very well.
