CNN is reporting that "unpaid internship" programs for the long term unemployed could become a new option for employers.

What does that do for current employees of a company other than make it easy to replace them or limit their earnings with this new free labor? What am I missing here?

Is it communism if you call it an "unpaid internship"?

I could have sworn that the gov't was going to crack down on unpaid internships...

Also, insert obligatory joke about Obama's package.

I thought this was a Clinton thread after reading the title.

I put "package" there intentionally because I heard it said several times on CNBC and CNN today....just wanted to see if I was the only one that thought it was a bit odd to keep phrasing it that way.
