$386 million Veteran Job Program created 397 jobs

The disarray at Future Tech is the most painful example of broader problems with the $386 million Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program, or VRRAP. Many schools proved unable to attract students or deliver promised services. In addition to Future Tech, nearly 90 schools have had their approvals yanked, according to VA officials, including several that were actively serving about 100 veterans. Some schools were cut off amid allegations of predatory practices, while others simply went out of business.

As of Aug. 1, only about 6,800 veterans had enrolled in the program, far fewer than the 17,250 Congress created it to serve, the agency said; just 397 had landed new jobs. That's correct, $386 million Veteran Job Program created 397 jobs.

Ronlad Reagan said it best, “The nine most feared words in the English language are”……..I’m from the government and I’m here to help.

Government involvement is the kiss of death, it literally rots whatever it touches.

Horrible - once again.

Just a big pay-off scheme, like every other spending bill.

Veterans already get the GI bill correct? I don’t know any in the last 15 years that aren’t getting 75 or better % disability also. So this spending bill was 100% horse **** to start with
