Don’t we already have 30-40 tax-sucking, pointless, ineffectual job programs already? The only people these stupid programs create jobs for are the dull-normal administrators who push pencils around in these government offices. Enough!

We have had "jobs programs" since at least 1962, with Kennedy's "Manpower Development and Training Act." It has been going on and proliferating ever since. Few successes for the mountain of money spent.

High-growth sectors like information technology, high-tech services, healthcare and advanced manufacturing all require workers with specific sets of training.

They actually require specific skill sets like setting the alarm at night and getting up in the morning, paying attention in third grade when math and English are taught, and, oh yes, actually WANTING to get a job enough to work hard, both at training and then on the job.
