Think of how much worse that storm would have been if all that money had been spent on bigger cars, airplane rides, or heating or cooling mansions requiring lots of fossil fuels to be burned. With these policies in place, only the right people will be allowed things like that.
I’m thinking of how many lives could have been saved if those now wasted billions of dollars had been spent on underground emergency structures in OK. And now we’re OK with turning over our health care to these incompetent assclowns?
Recalling the unwarranted grief Bush received over Katrina it is striking that there is not a peep out of the old media even remotely demonstrating the correlation between wasting taxpayer dollars on green idiocy and lost lives in Oklahoma City and Norman.
If not for the old media, there would be a lot less Babs Boxers in government promoting green schemes. The old media has blood on their hands. Time for some of these reporters/editors/producers in the old media to grow a pair….
How much of that money was laundered, I mean kicked back, I mean donated to the BO campaign?
Imagine how pissed taxpayers would be if they only knew how much of their money is pissed away. Sadly most people believe the lie that ‘this is an investment in our future’, and look the other way while people die.
You can’t produce enough energy thru solar energy to reliably use a garden light.
Self-ennobling does not come cheap. Especially when it’s fraudulent.
And the biggest = special treatment for GE, the big administration donor.
Our tax laws allow giving favors to those who are nicely favored by politicians…
