$15.4 billion of taxpayer money that Obama has given to nearly 50 federal job training programs as highlighted by the Wall Street Journal are mostly getting wasted on things like exaggerated employee salaries for those responsible for running the programs, and casino trips.

ALG - $500 million 'green' jobs training program a failure, Inspector General report says

Oct. 5, 2011, Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government (ALG) today urged both houses of Congress to repeal the Department of Labor's $500 million "green" jobs training program in response to an Inspector General report highlighting the program's failures:

"When a program's own Inspector General is calling for its elimination, you know it's bad.  The Department of Labor was given $500 million to find 80,000 people a so-called 'green' job, and instead has only found a fraction of that, at a cost of $25,000 per job placed.  But even then it rigged its methodology to claim 'green' jobs that weren't. The remaining $300 million should be returned to taxpayers, who were sold a hoax of a 'green' economy and 'green' jobs that don't actually exist.

"We praise Congressman Darrel Issa for looking into this scam, and we urge a full investigation, including bringing Labor Secretary Hilda Solis before his committee to explain how she allowed hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to be wasted."
