President Obama and his Progressive partners in crime have squandered billions of dollars of taxpayer money on a pipe dream called green jobs. It is time to put a stop to the funding of this boondoggle. There is a reason that the private will not invest in these “environmentally friendly” products. They are not profitable. […]

Here’s some examples: However, according […]
