Question : Why is Biden touting the spending of countless America Tax dollars in a fraud ridden program?
FRESNO, Calif. — Vice President Joe Biden said this week that the Obama administration “hit the accelerator” toward spending $ 5 billion under the economic stimulus law to weatherize people’s homes, create thousands of jobs, help consumers save money and put the nation on track for energy independence.

What Biden failed to mention:

_In Alaska, the program has yet to retrofit one home.

_In Texas, auditors found the private contractor earning the most in stimulus money did shoddy work on 60 percent of the houses it was hired to weatherize.

_In California, a contracting company paid nearly $ 3 million to caulk low-income residents’ homes didn’t train two dozen of its employees, the state’s inspector general found last week.

Just months ago, at the one-year anniversary of the stimulus law, the Energy Department’s inspector general complained in a report about “little progress” weatherizing homes and said the government’s best efforts “appeared not to have significantly increased the tempo of actual units weatherized across the nation.”

Contractors reportedly were paid for insulating attics they barely visited. Companies earned the same amount whether they installed high-quality or low-quality equipment. One resident who didn’t qualify for the program’s income levels got a boiler installed just the same, the Energy Department audit concluded.

In other words, it was mostly wasted money that didn’t conserve energy or do anything for the environment.

And people wonder why we are against “big” government.
