My wife signed up for this program. She got no hits at all out of it.

She’s gone back to school now. Hoping for better things!

I know, I was shocked to say the least. I also found two articles that were amazingly critical of the ZERO on ABC today (Drudge even linked to one of them about Solyndra). The MSM turning on the zero?!? Hmmmmm
