The USDA’s ‘Two Millon Dollar Man’

Gentlemen, we can hire him. We have the audacity. We have the capability to make the world’s first intern position that costs two million dollars. Better than the others before. Better . . . stronger . . . faster.

No, this is not that article from the Onion where the Department of Labor spent $40 billion to create one amazing new job. As Lachlan Markay of the Heritage Foundation points out, this one is all too real. It seems that the Department of Agriculture is beyond parody, and its Office of the Chief Information Officer did really spend $2,013,396 on an internship program that only produced one intern.

Surprised?

Any stimulus is good stimulus?

But if it would save just one life... uh, I mean, if it would "create" just one job, wouldn't it be worth it?

It is OK for goverment to waste 2 million of your money, but if Mitt spends 2 million of his own funds on a car elevator creating many more jobs, it is evilll!

I still can't figure out WTF happened here. This is why we need across the board real cuts in all Federal agency spending, 1 or 2% every year until they tighten things up and prioritize budgets. These agency bureaucrats don't give a crap about the money they waste. Fire the SOBs

Who knows...this intern could be the next Paul Ryan.

A fine example of a sloppy big government wasting our tax dollars at every turn. We, the collective citizens of America, need to stop feeding the machine and we have a chance to do something positive in November.

You liberals are funny. Nobody can make a well defined argument against Ryan, his intellect, his budget knowledge, etc so all you can do is throw firebombs to attack him personally. Says a lot about the guy!

Oh you know they have people digging through his trash right now looking for anything that will harm his character... that's the liberal way and Palin is the proof. I don't think the press will be as interested in interviewing him because they only have one topic they think he's vulnerable on....the budget (which the left refuses to address).
