90% of all government programs are nothing more than employment programs to employ unemployable people. these regulations don’t achieve anything else.
“90% of all government programs are nothing more than employment programs to employ unemployable people. these regulations don’t achieve anything else.”
90% is too low! Even programs that produce a modicum of positive results, are still first and foremost, jobs programs.
We have a situation currently here in the SF Bay Area where our BART “not so rapid transit system” has been caught using money from a dedicated bond issue passed by the voters solely to provide for capital improvements, to cover operating costs. This from a district that from it’s inception, has had in it’s charter that it’s employees have to make no less than anyone in a similar job anywhere in the country. And the kicker is that the media has found an Asian Janitor in the Powell St. Station who has been taking home in excess of $250,000 per year working “overtime.” Sometimes the guy logged eighteen straight 16 hour days, but when you look at the surveillance videos, he spends most of his time in a utility room. And when asked on camera about the video evidence the female General Manager took of her mike and walked off the set. So yes, it’s all a jobs program.
