A Tad Pricey

A while back on this forum, I stated that US government promotion of "green jobs" was a fantasy that would lead to fiscal catastrophe, just as it has in now teetering on national bankruptcy Spain. These numbers from a Michael W. Chapman and Fred Lucas article on CNS News bear out the point. According to this article http://cnsnews.com/news/article/9-billion-stimulus-solar-wind-projects-made-910-final-jobs-98-million-job, the environmentally-friendly positions, nine hundred and ten (910) in all, cost nine billion dollars ($9 billion), meaning each job cost the taxpayer a mere nine million, eight hundred thousand US dollars ($9.8 million). That is quite a bit of green to throw around, and I wonder how much of it went to Obama cronies?
