Another give-away to buy votes is about to go into effect. This time, we are going to pay people to see if they like their new job.

In February,  Obama boxed Republicans into an election year corner,  and got an agreement to continue unemployment benefit payments while [some] workers "test" certain jobs,  working part-time in an effort to determine the jobs "preferability" from the workers point of view, all while the worker is being paid unemployment benefits.   Geeeesh.  Apparently no one in Big Government understands the statement,  "We have no money."

Strangely,  I really do not blame the GOP on this one.  I know that "principle" has been trashed (by the GOP) with this agreement.  But,  I also know,  that the bragging rights do not score as much for Obama as if the GOP had decided to stand and fight.  Call it a "down payment" on winning the election,  I really do not care.   Nothing is more important,  including this bill,  than the ultimate and historic defeat of this Know Nothing occupying our White House.   I suggest that we stop giving this man election year ammunition and just get him and his One World hordes out of Washington, D.C.

From Yahoo:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is looking for states that will experiment with unemployment insurance programs by letting people test a job while still receiving benefits.

The plan is a key feature of a payroll tax cut package that President Barack Obama negotiated with congressional Republicans in February.

The Labor Department will open the application process Thursday for 10 model projects across the country. Any state can apply for the "Bridge to Work" program.

The plan is modeled after a Georgia program called "Georgia Works." Under the plan, workers who have lost jobs can be placed in other temporary jobs as trainees for short periods to retain their skills or gain new ones while receiving jobless assistance. About a third of the time, those workers wind up getting hired full-time.
