Did you know there is such a thing as the ?Unemployment Insurance Hall of Fame??
The Department of Labor holds a gala event for new inductees. The next one is coming up in October. Via Rebekah Rast at NetRightDaily with a hat tip to Adam Biteley:
In 2010, the unemployment insurance (UI) program celebrated its 75th anniversary. To commemorate, a new awards ceremony was introduced. The Department of Labor (DOL) established the UI Innovation Awards and the UI Hall of Fame to recognize the outstanding work of individuals and state UI agencies.
The 2011 awards ceremony will be held Oct. 17-20 at the Biltmore Hotel in Providence, R.I. The going rate for a junior suite with two king-sized beds during the convention is $119 a night, not too bad. Of course since this is a federal government department, you can assume your tax dollars are paying for the convention as well as probably contributing to the UI Hall of Fame celebration.
A request of the budget for this convention from the organizer of the awards ceremonies at the Department of Labor went unanswered. Americans for Limited Government (ALG) is currently working on a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to find out the cost to taxpayers for this event.
I have the PERFECT logo image for this hall of fame glorifying government subsidies that reduce the incentive to find jobs?just borrow the pointless locked gears from the Smithsonian Institute?s ?Department of Innovation:?
