At last, we’re going to be saved. Yessir. They’re starting with military policemen  and eventually will work all the way down to cooks in the mess hall as culinary masters in Michelin 5 star Restaurants. Were you a mechanic? Chances are you could find yourself in a high paying job at Mr. Goodwrench® in the near future thanks to the President’s new program that will pay corporations big bucks to hire you with continuing tax writeoffs for decades.

This program for ex-military police is pretty exciting. $111 million for 600 new jobs and to save another 200. That works out to $138,750.00 per year per person per job for them. Really? You think any police outfit is going to pay FNG cops, even Veterans, that kind of change? Worse, is that the message you want to be sending the 99% in the middle of economic doldrums? Do you want to see Occupy Oakland Police Department? Reality is as usual. The new cops will get $49 K plus bennies and the bigwigs will get their bonus for dreaming it up. The Oshkosh, Oklahoma cop shop and others across the fruited plain will get a one-time check to hire 3 officers in 2013 and then the money dries up. Mr. Vet goes on unemployment in 2014 and the program is quietly retired. Like sand through the hourglass…
