Just when you think you might be reaching the outer limits of government stupidity and waste...
You must not judge a federal program on its results.
You must judge it on the number of well-paid bureaucrats it employs.

Government at work!
This is money-laundering. Political friends get rich “training” poor people who are useful pawns to be discarded.
Since these programs are for “minorities”
for the most part, what is the cost of jailing them when they act out their “culture” versus
them working and maybe, just, maybe, them getting
the idea that a job and some freedom, might be better than jail.
the Labor Dept itself shouldn’t exist.
Patience.
Let’s wait 3-4 generations before we judge the result.
“If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand.”
Milton Friedman
LOL! Perfect!
Another example of a “successful” federal program.
This is just another liberal program that was created on how it makes politicians “feel” like they are “doing something”. But as with most government programs, the results are never critically evaluated and like most government programs, it continues even though it is an utter failure.
Ain’t Communism wonderful.
Low info voters will not see this as stopping something that isn’t working but as something essential being taken away by greedy Conservatives. This is the desired result of public education run by marxists.
**Another example of a “successful” federal program.** U mean feral?
Anyone remember CETA? Comprehensive Employment and Training-something. Reagan dumped it. Guys showed up to class drunk at 8:30 am.
“Head Start doesn’t work”
Dick Cheney.
Then there’s Americorp. As useful as the Peace Corps.
This is an amazing article. Do gooders do so much harm & cause so much waste.
Job training is good but it has to be targeted. What a shame to aim so low in terms of suitable jobs, and what kind of vetting is there with a ~30% completion rate.
This looks like a call for Doge to make. The Government needs to do better or get out of the way. Let the private sector take over. Many factories & companies consider job training a good investment and the jobs they train for pay a lot better.
Cheaper to just give the kids a yearly stipend and fire all the bureaucrats.
