President Obama has spent billions on so-called green job programs as part of the economic recovery and plans to spend billions more. He has repeatedly argued this will create good-paying jobs that cannot be outsourced. But, according to the green groups themselves, these jobs can be highly expensive, often costing well more than $100,000 per job in subsidies and/or tax credits. Just last month, the White House said it was spending $135,294 per job to create 17,000 green jobs.

And even if they were created, they would all be in China.

why not pay 30,000 people $75,000 to stay home and watch TV. It would be similar to having a “green” job.
Don't be giving them any ideas.
