$588,235 per job created. Or saved!: Weatherization program a flop

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Porkulus Follies: Weatherization program a flop.

When Barack Obama signed Porkulus over a year ago, one of its signature programs promised an explosion of jobs in the construction and contracting industries thanks to federal subsidies for weatherizing older homes.  In fact, as early as April 2009, Obama began bragging about the new jobs that his tax credits on weatherization and energy-efficiency remodeling would bring.  Eleven months later, the Associated Press reports that the explosion has turned into a multibillion-dollar implosion (via Fausta and JWF)

  3. Hi Fred, Nice to see you are still around.

    I think there just might be a revolt. America as we know it cannot survive if the politicians in Washington continue down the destructive path they have chosen. Power corrupts and sadly we have learned that the hard way.

    I do hope that there will be people of integrity and stamina who will be willing to run for elected office for the specific purpose of taking back our Republic. It will be a long, slow process but the first step is happening. People really are starting to wake up.

    :) >- to you as well.
