Green Stimulus Money Costs More Jobs Than It Creates, Study Shows(CNSNews.com) - Every “green job” created with government money in Spain over the last eight years came at the cost of 2.2 regular jobs, and only one in 10 of the newly created green jobs became a permanent job, says a new study released this month. The study draws parallels with the green jobs programs of the Obama administration.

President Obama, in fact, has used Spain’s green initiative as a blueprint for how the United States should use federal funds to stimulate the economy. Obama's economic stimulus package,which Congress passed in February, allocates billions of dollars to the green jobs industry.

Now about cap and trade creating jobs....dream on. All it will do is give carbon credits to fat cats who then get to feed off your flesh. The Bill is in trouble anyway.
