I just had a very interesting conversation with a guy I know who finally got a job. Our local county workers (DSS) kept bugging him and bugging him to look for work and go to all these job fairs. He went to one and was hired, yeah! It is for part time work, the only jobs this place offers, and makes $7.25 an hour. Since they made him get the job and he is on social services they pay for a taxi so he can get to work and back home.
Now for the real kicker! His gross pay is $29 a day and the taxi is costing the county $30 a day to transport him. How stupid can our government officials be? They forced him to take this job and spend more a day than he makes.
So, it isn't just the federal government that is real stupid, it is every branch from the feds down to the county. We wonder why we are in such bad shape, this is just a small example of why.
