New jobs

I mentioned earlier that the government has 49 separate job training programs. Latest report shows the cost to be 18 billion per year. The “Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Gold Standard Evaluation,” completed six months earlier, concluded that all of the federal government’s primary job-training programs don’t really work. These programs are set up by congress to show that they are doing something but instead they became jobs for friends and are filled with scandals and just another way to distribute funds to anyone smart enough to game the system. If Trump is going to set up an on the job training program to fill the need of qualified people, he should first get rid of the current programs and then have some disinterested third party oversee the plan. It could be that the government is so big it cannot be controlled but some attempt should be made to get more qualified people ready for the new jobs.
