I had not heard of this but as is the case nowadays, nothing that the incompetents and corrupt that Barack Hussein Obama has put in positions of power in this government really surprises me anymore. As the United States deals with a federal debt and deficit that many feel is beyond repair, the EPA, under the direction of Obama's hand-picked commie director, Lisa Jackson, is busy sending millions and millions of our taxpayer dollars overseas to fund "green" projects by the likes of China, Russia and India.
Yes, you read that right - the Peoples' Republic of China, which holds over a trillion dollars of our debt, is getting free money from our EPA Director.
From the article at Family Security Matters:
In a transaction that's sure to anger Americans -- if the news media ever bothered to tell them -- the People's Republic of China gets millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to help with their so-called green projects. The outrageous part of the story is that the U.S. is indebted to China for almost a trillion dollars, according to a Washington, D.C. watchdog group that investigates government corruption.
The Obama administrator, Lisa Jackson, who launched an enormously expensive program to make America’s minority communities green, has sent millions of taxpayer dollars to environmental causes in nations overseas, including China, Russia and India.
Ranking members of a congressional energy committee call it “foreign handouts” amid record deficits, soaring unemployment and a looming debt ceiling in the U.S. The money -- $27 million since 2009 -- has been issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is headed by Ms. Jackson.
The cash was distributed via 65 foreign grants that don’t even include Canada and Mexico, according to a report issued this week by the House Energy and Commerce Committee and obtained by Judicial Watch, a public-interest group based in the nation's capital.
Among the enraging foreign handouts are $1.2 million for the United Nations to promote clean fuels, $718,000 to help China comply with two initiatives and $700,000 for Thailand to recover methane gas at pig farms, according to Judicial Watch's investigation.
Are they serious? Can you imagine where $1.2 million spent at the United Nations went? Hell, every dollar of that probably went to fund some sort of terror activity in an Arab nation or perhaps helped the Iranians along with their nuclear testing.
Lisa Jackson has been the poster child for incompetence and what makes it worse, she's been the epitome of "in your face" defiance of the American people. This is the woman that decided that when the U.S. Congress wouldn't play ball with her initiatives, she just decided that the EPA could issue edicts and circumvent our representative Republic. This woman is a Bolshevik.
We have Democrat lawmakers who won't budge one inch in trying to cut money from our spending here domestically and the whole time, we have unConstitutional agencies like the EPA throwing money all over the world like it's confetti.
EPA Gives Millions in Handouts to China and Russia
In a transaction that's sure to anger Americans -- if the news media ever bothered to tell them -- the People's Republic of China gets millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to help with their so-called green projects.

An additional $150,000 went to help the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) combat fraud in carbon trading and $15,000 to Indonesia’s “Breathe Easy, Jakarta” publicity campaign.
This sort of federal spending does not reflect the priorities of the American people, according to a letter that several lawmakers sent Jackson in the report’s aftermath.
Since being appointed EPA Administrator, Jackson has gone on a manic spending spree to bring “environmental justice” to low-income and minority communities. Under the program, dozens of left-wing groups have received millions of taxpayer dollars to help poor and impoverished people increase recycling, reduce carbon emissions through “weatherization,” participate in “green jobs” training and avoid heat stroke.
The EPA's budget has also surged 34% since Jackson took over to a whopping $10.3 billion. The figure includes $43 million for efforts to reduce greenhouse gases that the agency claims “endanger” public health.
By the EPA's own statements, Administrator Jackson has pledged to focus on core issues of protecting air and water quality, preventing exposure to toxic contamination in U.S. communities, and reducing greenhouse gases. She has pledged that all of the agency's efforts will follow the best science, adhere to the rule of law, and be implemented with unparalleled transparency.
By the same statements, she has made it a priority to focus on vulnerable groups – including children, the elderly, and low-income communities – that are particularly susceptible to environmental and health threats. She has promised that all stakeholders will be heard in the decision-making process.
Nearly half of the EPA’s budget goes to grants that fund state environmental programs, nonprofits and educational institutions that help promote the agency’s agenda.

With the exception of emergency aid ALL foreign handouts ought to be stopped until our economy rebounds.

Well I see there is a spot to cut the budget to save the tax payers some money.
When they run out of other people's money they run out of their job. Spend it all.
