So, $1,000 per employee is a bad thing. Cutting unprofitable stores or plants is part of keeping a business healthy. "One of the best things for consumer spending is something approaching 2 million American workers who got $1,000 bonuses in January — specifically because of the tax bill," Ross said.

Trump budget proposes 40% cut to job training programs

From your article moron:

The US Labor Department's own 2012 study found that one of its training programs for workers who lost their jobs to trade wasn't successful at placing them in good paying jobs or ones the workers wanted. Another 1997 Labor study, cited in Trump's budget, had dim conclusions too.

Some economists say the administration should only focus on apprenticeship programs in the workplace and not classroom-based job training programs.

Trump's budget proposal does call for $90 million for some apprenticeship programs -- the same amount President Obama appropriated for such training in 2016.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is an American think tank that analyzes the impact of federal and state government budget policies from a progressive perspective. ... CBPP was founded in 1981 by Robert Greenstein, a former political appointee in the Jimmy Carter administration. Just a little bias there sport.

Or not.

My comments in blue.

Correct me if you must, but 2 million people times one thousand per person is $2B injected into the economy in January.

And why SHOULDN'T you be able to cut jobs training programs somewhat --- if employment is up and not as many folks competing for the same crappy jobs..??

I also found two articles citing government training programs were many times not successful in placing graduates.
