The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing this morning titled “How Obama’s Green Energy Agenda Is Killing Jobs.” The oversight committee is headed by California Republican Darrell Issa. The committee has also published a 36-page document on Obama’s job killing green agenda.
In Issa’s preview statement prior to the hearing, he stated:
“Facing the worst recession since the Great Depression, President Obama has confronted this crisis by promoting green jobs as a major component of his recovery plan. He has said that these programs would create five million jobs within ten years. The President has also cited the efforts of other nations as the rationale to try to subsidize our way to energy independence.
“Unfortunately, the other nations who tried this experiment have struggled to recover. After three years and billions of spent taxpayer dollars later, the American people have received very little return on the President’s investment, and this country too, struggles to recover.
“A green jobs fueled recovery is a theory, and is yet unproven. Numerous elements of President Obama’s plan have been called into question. This activity includes a Bureau of Labor Statistics effort to legitimize the notion of questionably-designated green jobs by counting them as an official metric. It also includes the appearance of political favoritism in the distribution of green energy grants and loan guarantees.
“The Oversight and Government Reform Committee will also examine how President Obama’s green jobs agenda has been combined with a concerted policy and regulatory campaign impacting American carbon-based energy production companies and employees.

Farce
Do us a favor don't let this White House make any more decisions for WE THE PEOPLE….they are kiling our country and business opportunities right and left. We need a new leadership.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
We should close down the federal government as we know it, fire everybody except our military and start over….
YES we should stop all immigration and deport all illegals and enemies of Americans such as those who practice their cult sharia politics.
Does Barack Obama and Harry Reid, AKA Barry and Harry Green Jobs, or anyone else, believe that these small flimsy windmills and mirrors systems will be as productive and long lasting as the tried and true power generated by hydro and carbon fueled systems. The green jobs are merely quick buck enterprises, infusing millions to the favored few with little or no lasting benefits to the public. Barry and Harry could cover Nevada with windmills and mirrors and it would not produce a decent percentage of that produced at the Hoover Dam generators.
It will not matter when Obama leaves the WH until the American people understand that Communism is at our throats and they must be exposed as enemies to our republic.
How Many Times Can The White House Gang Have Hearings On Our Imposter Muslim Pres Obamacare Agendas?? Yikeess, Wake-Up Proud Americans, If there Are Any Left, This Pres Has Tried And Failed, He Is 0 For 75 Which Is .000 And We Are Wasting Another Hearing, Yikeess, School Kids Can See Thru This Staff Of Phonies From Mr And Mrs Obama And His Family From Kenya ,To Eric Holders Staff Of Janet Incompatano, (The Border Is Secure) Yikeess, God Bless America And The Tea Party Patriots With Sarah Palin POTUS.
The only thing green in the green agenda is the separation of good green money from the taxpayers pocket.
Barry Lied and people died.
