On his TV show Friday, Glenn Beck re-aired a previous segment about the pressure group Apollo Alliance, which aspires to destroy the U.S. economy by having the federal government fund “green jobs” scams.
President Obama’s “green jobs” czar Van Jones, an avowed "communist," was on the board of the Apollo Alliance, said Phil Kerpen, director of policy for Americans for Prosperity.
Even worse, the group, which has ties to ACORN, SEIU, and Center for American Progress president John Podesta, has significant pull in Congress and helped to write the stimulus bill. The $60 billion in funding for "green jobs," a utopian fantasy not taken seriously by economists, was inserted at the request of the Apollo Alliance into the stimulus legislation President Obama signed in February.
