Going Green Ain't Cutting It

A half-billion dollar Labor Department program to train "green job" workers is falling short of its goal: Only 10 percent of participants have found work so far, according to Labor's Inspector General. The IG report found the low placement rate makes it unlikely the job program will meet its goal of placing 80,000 workers in green energy careers by 2013. The head of Labor's Employment and Training Administration strongly disagrees with the report. She said she expects the number of job placements to increase in the next few months.

Sorry but it is not happening. This is a waste of taxpayer money.

In a free capitolistic economy, the best alternative to any need will natutrally evolve.
In a state run top down marxist economy, the top down rule will always result in the worst possible outcomes.
Obamas top down rules are living proof that socialism doesn't work.
