Quoted from Box A Rox

The company that I worked for had problems getting people with machining experience.  They made
Jet Engine Parts which was a well paying manufacturing job.  They threatened to move their business
to the Detroit area where there was an abundance of experienced machinists.
  State and Federal dollars would go to train these employees and get them started on a 6
month qualifying basis.
Many of the people being trained WERE ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE OR UNEMPLOYMENT.  Instead
this program took them off of welfare and unemployment and put them to work at a well paying job.
  The Jet engine company got what it wanted... experienced machinists.
  The jobs stayed in place so the state got what it wanted.
  The taxpayers who paid the unemployment and welfare benefits got many off of assistance
forever.
  The people being trained now had a good job that is still in demand today.

Everyone succeeded.  Everyone moved up together.  A govt success story that only needed a push
to get started.  

Quoted from CICERO

I can explain how the welfare to work program is exploited too, where businesses are subsidized for hiring the chronically unemployed.  It's basically a revolving door, while businesses collect the subsidies.  You hire the unemployable, keep them for the required minimum, put them in a position that will not harm your product or service, then terminate them.

Quoted from CICERO

Yes, I understand how the programs work, just wondering why tax dollars are training the workforce of private industry and how that fits into your anti corporate welfare position?  The money corporations saved in training by pushing that cost onto the taxpayer went into managements pocket.  If it cost $1000 to train 1 employee, and they hired 100 employees, that's $100,000 in the company's pocket.  The fact that companies threaten to leave the country because they didn't want to invest their own money into an American workforce should be appalling to you.

Quoted from Box A Rox

How much did the Taxpayers pay for the unemployment and welfare, food stamps etc for these
trainees?  
How much would the Taxpayers continue to pay for unemployment and welfare, food stamps etc for these
people?

If, as you say, it costs $1000 to train these people, and each collects at least that much on public
assistance, then the cost to the taxpayer is negligible, EXCEPT these people now trained will have
a job PAYING TAXES, NOT COLLECTING TAX DOLLARS for the rest of their lives.

Rep. Phil Gingrey  complained in a closed-door GOP meeting that many congressional
aides "may be 33 years old now and not making a lot of money. But in a few years they can
just go to K Street and make 500,000 a year. Meanwhile I'm stuck here making $172,000 a year."

SEPTEMBER 20--A mentally challenged Florida man who had saved up for months to purchase a copy of "Grand Theft Auto V" was robbed of the video game as he left a GameStop store this week, police report.

After buying the game Tuesday afternoon, Rohan Dawkins was approached in a Delray Beach parking lot by a couple who pulled up in a car. After asking Dawkins for the time, Tommy Davis, 27, grabbed the bag containing the best-selling game, which was released this week.

When Dawkins sought to retrieve the item, Adele Jones, 25, allegedly kicked and punched the 21-year-old Dawkins, according to Delray Beach Police Department reports.

After swiping the game, Davis and Jones (seen in the above mug shots) drove to a second GameStop, where they unsuccessfully sought to return the game for a refund. Investigators believe that the couple subsequently sold the game to a third party.

A police report valued the stolen copy of "Grand Theft Auto V" at $150, an indication that Dawkins purchased a GameStop collector’s edition of the game.

Aided by store surveillance footage, Davis and Jones--parents to four children--were arrested yesterday. Dawkins identified both suspects when shown photo lineups.

During questioning, an “apologetic” Davis reportedly confessed to robbing Dawkins, claiming that he “stole the property because he needed new tires for his car.” Jones admitted that she and Davis went to GameStop intending to “catch a cracker,” which she said was slang for robbing a white person, cops reported. Instead, they robbed Dawkins, with whom Davis said she fought until Davis was able to drive away.

Davis and Jones were booked into the Palm Beach County jail on felony robbery and dealing in stolen property charges. They remain jailed in lieu of $5000 bond.

“I wanted to play the game with my sister and my cousins,” Dawkins (seen above) said yesterday at a police press conference. “I was buying it for my family and me.” Police announced last night that today they will present Dawkins with a donated copy of "Grand Theft Auto V." (3 pages)
