I like the idea about giving kids money to go off to college/vocational school early too. Good stuff.

The rest... the vague bits about making 13 year olds into adults... that's what I'm wary of. He talks about giving them responsibilities. Ok, I get that he wants to put 'em to work. Fine. What else? Age of majority? Age of consent? Drinking age? Oh, and how about those terrible illegal drugs, Newt? While we're on the subject of personal responsibility and all...
