As a local businessman, my employees and I have participated in a city program where the city pays half of training costs, while I pay the other half. Zero cost to the employee. No military involved. And this is but one single example of a (non-military) government program.

Unless you're paying for people to get their BA or higher, then that's not the same issue I'm talking about. Training for businesses is partly there for employers, and also for employees who plan on their careers beforehand. Those employers that need people desperately or would like to offer free training are doing a service in order to enhance those individuals and the business itself by having properly trained employees.

Total BS.. A CNA or CCIE certification is worth a lot more than a BA. But I have also helped pay an employee to get her MBA, so that happens too. But she wasn't some looser. You gotta earn it. Nothing is free. Somebody has to pay for it. The question becomes whether help comes from government or the private and religious sectors. I prefer the last 2 as it should be.

Better if it is deserved or earned rather than given away by the government, which happens to be by my own expense anyway.
