(CNSNews.com) – White House press secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged Tuesday that the U.S. cannot proscribe how Iran chooses to spend the money it will get as sanctions are eased under a proposed nuclear deal.
But he said it was “common sense” to expect that the regime would use it to improve the ailing economy, rather than to step up funding for terrorism or destabilizing activities in the region.
Earnest said what had brought the Iranians to the negotiating table in the first place was a desire to ease the effects of sanctions imposed by the international community over the nuclear standoff.

Of course the idiocy is really treason in disguise, it is open and onerous.
Exactly. They only need to look at Hamas, and what they did with the "money" (from the "do-gooders") .....
What if the extra money goes to the abuse of women and children’s fund?
Uh huh. Kinda like N. Korea did.
He’s right.
Iran will use oil money for THAT!........
The Administration sock puppets don’t believe what they are saying; they are helping the enemy and don’t even care if we know it. After all the passivity and complicity of Congress and too much of the electorate have shown that nothing will be done to stop them.
The WH lies once again...old news
What say we elect some SANE ADULTS in 2016 and remember how badly we screwed up by not doing so the last 2 times??
This...this TWIT(damn, almost misspelled that one!) is one of those airhead thirty somethings infesting Washington and responsible for crap like obozocare. It will take multiple decades to get those protected by the idiotic Civil Service regs OUT OF GOVERNMENT.
And reliable sources in the State Department Human Resources Office report that Marie's full last name is, in fact, HARFWIT but Hillary suggested she shorten it lest it diminish her credibility as the department's spokesperson.
And this just in: It's reported that Marie is moving over to the Labor Department to run the just created Jobs for Jihadis Program!
Are we screwed or what?
I guess we should be relieved that this moron is no longer an "analyst" at the CIA (which explains a LOT about what's wrong over there). 
That statement is not consistent with the religion based goal of this theocracy which is to purge the world WITH FIRE so the 12th Imam can ascend out of the well and rule the Earth.
Iran...and Common Sense ?
did he really SAY THAT!???
this has to be a mistranslation
“White House press secretary Josh Earnest”
please use his correct title:
Paid Professional Liar Josh Earnest
This is the dumbness thinking I have ever heard. So the funds will boost their economy and will release their monies they would have spent for this economy for the purchase in the military. So what we have given them for this so called economy is really the military boost.
Hey Barack!
Is that why there is so much poverty in the Arab occupied areas of Israel? The TERRORISTS hold $3 BILLION in the bank, while they use their people as pawns, and then blame the Jews for the poor living conditions!
Is THAT the “Common Sense” your boss refers to Josh?
Does the PLO model teach you anything?
Betcha the press won’t release any results.
Common sense. Another oxymoron.
Common sense from thugs that put bombs on their kids.
And the WH has commie sense.
“... he said it was “common sense” to expect that the regime would use it to improve the ailing economy...”
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
We can’t even get OUR ‘government’ to use OUR tax money to improve the economy - what makes them think terrorists will use OUR tax money on theirs?
