Below Fox News Channel’s Glenn Beck explains the Apollo Alliance on his July 28 show. Beck mentions the Obama administration’s “stimulus” blueprint, “The New Apollo Program: Clean Energy, Good Jobs,” which you can read here.
Hopefully we can stop these big bills so that they don't get all the parts they need to build it.
It does seem a little like Tony Stark in the cave. “What are you building, Stark?”
It’s becoming a lot clearer why all these bills are so big.
I never thought it was a coincedence, but now there’s a basis for which to work from.
Thanks for the post.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - A former Americorps director in Meriden has been sentenced to six months in prison for embezzling more than $150,000 and failing to pay income taxes.
Federal prosecutors said Tuesday that 33-year-old Jonathan Holden, of Hopkinton, Mass., formerly of Middletown, Conn., was sentenced in New Haven.
Authorities said Holden caused Meriden to issue paychecks in the names of others, which he then diverted to himself for his own benefit.
Holden was ordered to pay restitution of $152,502 to Meriden’s insurer and back taxes, plus penalties and interest, to the Internal Revenue Service.
Obama’s Americorps scandal — and the First Lady’s meddling

President Obama is hoping you won’t notice his abrupt change of inspectors general over at Americorps, the government-run, taxpayer-subsidized “community service” boondoggle (which Republicans helped expand as part of the $6 billion GIVE/SERVE Act in March despite its wasteful track record. Thanks, Republicans).
With intervention from Michelle Obama, the Americorps inspector general was given the boot and replaced — for doing his job too well, it seems, and uncovering squandering of funds by favored contributors, educational institutions, and left-wing groups............
