Is this the Democrats way of ending high unemployment?

So instead ofunding unemployment, they fund short-term employment, just long enough to get to the next election?

MILWAUKEE - At least 4,000 jobless people in Wisconsin will benefit from a new program using $34 million in federal stimulus money to pay for temporary jobs during the next two years.

Wisconsin Department of Children and Families Secretary Reggie Bicha tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the new program will help those people transition from temporary jobs to the non-subsidized job market.

Under the program, private and public employers who hire an eligible participant will receive a 100 percent wage subsidy, at minimum wage, up to 40 hours a week for six months.

Participants must be unemployed for at least a month and be low income.

About half of the jobs are expected to be created in the Milwaukee area.
