He also cited programs to make old houses more energy efficient. There was a post on FR a few days ago about the program in Seattle. They spent 20 million in stimulus money, and created 14 jobs, almost all adminstrative, and retrofited (installed insulation) in 3 houses. Now the money is gone and they want more.
And the whole purpose of the program: weatherproofing homes - resulted in a whopping 3 homes being weatherproofed under the Seattle program. 3 stinkin' homes!
