The big revelation in the GAO’s Obama Stimulus “Green Jobs” audit is that much of the 500 million dollars set aside for Green Jobs was really handed over to allied liberal non-profits and labor unions.

(the tile says 50 million, but the article says 500 million)

Obama is using taxpayer funds to defeat his political opposition, again, unquestioned and unchallenged by the so-called watchdog media.

GREEN JOBS INDEED. It was payback time for the Unions, community organizers and other socialist frauds to line their pockets after doing the dirty work in the illegal election of this fraud who we have in office. Without a doubt, the most CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION in the history of the U.S. Starting with his fraudulent eligibility scam.

Audit finds bloated budget for green jobs training despite lack of open positions

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/04/audit-finds-bloated-budget-for-green-jobs-training-despite-lack-open-positions/#ixzz2b1KmgCbE

federal audit shows that nearly a half-billion dollars in government funds was spent on training workers for so-called “green jobs.” The only problem is that not enough positions in the growing industry exist.

The findings — released in a June report by the Government Accountability Office — showed that only 55 percent of those trained were able to place in a new job, many of which were not technically green jobs. The $501 million in funding came from the 2009 stimulus law.

The union leadership has spent the collected retirement and healthcare monies in their coffers on getting democrips into office everywhere, so the criminal slug regime is re-stocking the coffers with taxpayer monies not legitimately allocated for same. The democrip party is a criminal enterprise, didn’t you know?
