In Detroit $11 million tax dollars buys suits for 2 guys to go to a job interview.

From the Wall Street Journal:
"Part of an $11 million grant intended to provide business attire to 400 low-income job-seekers instead helped only two people, an audit of the city's Department of Human Services has found," the Detroit News reports:

The audit, conducted by the city's auditor general for the period from July 2009 to September 2011, found the department failed to control the operations and finances of a boutique that was to provide the clothes.

On the bright side, when the two job-seekers showed up for their interviews, they looked like a million bucks.
