Why is that a bad thing? I don’t understand why conservatives balk at reforming liberal programs and making them more conservative. Job training could get people off unemployment and back out into the economy, retrained for jobs that businesses need. If done right, this is an upfront investment that saves us money down the road. Maybe it could also be funded by the business community. Status quo on some of these social programs is not good, but programs like this are not going away anytime soon, at least I don’t think any other candidates are saying they’re going to abolish unemployment.
I go along with your ideas if the point is to show that a person is taking advantage of an existing educational opportunity. But, when it means government opening up training centers like they do with all their meaningless counseling and other “programs’ I can’t support it.
