Report: Obama Spent $11.45 Million per 'Green Job' Created    Wynton Hall
8 May 2013


In 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama promised to create 5 million “green jobs” if elected president. However, an analysis by the Institute for Energy Research (IER) finds that since 2009, the Department of Energy’s (DOE) $26 billion loan program created just 2,298 permanent jobs, at a cost of $11.45 million per job created.



“The losers are the American workers who would otherwise be gainfully employed but for the tremendous waste of taxpayer dollars on the administration’s obsession with ‘green energy,’” said IER Policy Associate Alex Fitzsimmons. “As the economy continues to suffer and dollars for federal programs get harder to come by, it is getting increasingly difficult to defend a program that costs so much and produces so little.”

In his New York Times bestselling book Throw Them All Out, Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer revealed that 80% of Department of Energy loans went to companies owned by or connected to President Barack Obama’s top campaign fundraisers.

Using this "logic"   the Keystone XL pipeline should never be approved because it will only create about 20-35 permanent jobs.

GYPSYMAN. I believe that if hussein proclaimed that doggy doo would  be good for an all natural shampoo and body wash, pooper scoopers would fly off the shelves and have to be back ordered, now THAT, would create more jobs than he has. The obummerbots will go for anything he says, from doggy doo to our guns. POWDERMAN.

Agreed, but using "permanent jobs" as the only criterion for measuring success is slightly fraudulent

[bosephus]

 huh, maybe i am an idiot afterall ...  but it seems to me when you are spending a few billion of taxpayers money to create jobs ...  permanant jobs created  is the only measure of success.

what other criteria  could there be?

but then to some odumbocrats any done by obama is a success no matter how big a failure it may be
