So what was Van Jones actually in charge of?

If the White House doesn't even know what the hell a Green Job is?

"BLS is responsible for developing and implementing the collection of new data on green jobs," said the note in the Federal Register, which is widely read by government bureaucrats and almost never seen by the general public. But the notice said there is "no widely accepted standard definition of 'green jobs.'" To help find that definition, the Labor Department asked that readers send in suggestions.

So Van Jones was actually a "We're not sure what they are, but they're green Jobs" Czar?

Of course, this also means that the govt is still spending money on things that it doesn't know what they are...

• U.S. Department of Labor Announces $100 Million in Green Jobs Training through Recovery Act
• U.S. Department of Labor Announces $150 Million in "Pathways Out of Poverty" Training Grants for Green Jobs
• U.S. Department of Labor Announces Nearly $190 Million in State Energy Sector Partnership and Training Grants for Green Jobs

In the staffer's mind, two and two came together. The Labor Department is shoving money out the door for "green jobs," yet at the same time is admitting it doesn't know what a "green job" is

Yep, that's our federal govt doing what it does "best"...
