President Gerald Ford had a scheme of giving unemployed people a $10,000 a year job but the taxpayers paid $50,000 each due to bureaucracy and government handling costs.
Mafia and local Harlem hoodlums handing out cash in envelopes was more efficient.

Sounds like the old WPA(We Piddle Around as my grandma called it) from the 1930s.
