White House under pressure to pay its interns
New York (CNNMoney) - For employers who rely on unpaid interns, it's been the summer of reckoning.

My advise–don't work without pay. Period.
All while our congress takes a 5 week paid vacation, that has followed months and months of minimal gains for 99% of us. This countries priorities are a mess!
You're asking too late, my darling young ones. You're stuck inside of Mobile with the Sequestration Blues again.
The entire intern program, is nothing but corruption. All of it. It always has been.
Hey , if the wotthless members of congress get paid 175,000 a year for doing nothing and on vacation most of the time, maybe they should make the congressman work for no pay and no pension as interns that have to work for free and their pay scale should be put on the ballot for us to choose.i bet they would get minimum wage or less!!!!!
