This is nonsense
Job training programs are not job creation programs. Especially when there are plenty of unemployed folks who already have those skills.
And when are we going to admit there's a limit to how much "unnecessary" bureaucracy exists, beyond which you're cutting into actual functionality?
Bush to Announce Plan to Double Job Training

With his opponent making job creation the centerpiece of his campaign, President Bush will announce plans today to double the number of workers who complete federal training each year from the current 200,000 to 400,000 -- but is putting no new money into the effort.
A White House fact sheet said Bush's plan, to be announced in Charlotte, calls for saving $300 million through the reduction of "unnecessary bureaucracy."
Bush also will consolidate four training and grant programs, administered by states with $4 billion in federal funds, into a single grant to governors to give them more flexibility and cut "federal red tape," the sheet said.
