Impressiona-me sempre como a esquerda não se engana nos seus alvos e a comunicação social é um canal dócil de transmissão da sua mensagem...estas linhas vindo a propósito da barragem de fogo a que foi sujeito Mitt Romney aquando da sua recente digressão europeia e onde só quase faltou que lhe chamassem atrazado-mental...sendo esta campanha tão eficaz que levou tudo por arrasto como se pode ver neste post do Blog EUA 2012.
E no entanto sabe Deus como haveria motivo de notícia nos sucessivos falhanços de Obama e no desastre para a América que é a sua governação além de risiveis e mirificas tantas das suas promessas eleitorais...
Um exemplo mais é este pequeno artigo saído na Newsmax e que mostra como são ruinosos os seus (de Obama) planos de dinamização da economia americana e também como sai sempre muito caro ao contribuinte todas as iniciativas do Estado ainda que bem intencionadas nas suas motiviações. No caso a dinamização do sector das energias alternativas e a paralela megalomania da criação de empregos a partir de acções do Governo...impressionante!
Obama’s Green Energy Disaster:
$578,333 per Job
Back in November 2008, presidential candidate
Barack Obama vowed: “We’ll invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in
renewable energy, creating five million new green jobs that pay well.”
Going on four years later, “Obama seems
incapable of keeping this promise,” nationally syndicated columnist Deroy
Murdock writes in an analysis published by National Review Online.
The Department of Energy’s website boasts
that three “clean energy” initiatives loaned $34.7 billion and created “nearly
60,000” jobs.
It does not point out that each of these jobs
therefore cost taxpayers $578,333.
Murdock cites figures showing that private
employers pay workers on average $62,757 a year in wages and benefits. So Obama
is “creating jobs” at 922 percent of the private sector’s cost of employing
workers for a year, says Murdock, a media fellow with the Hoover Institute on
War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford University.
He also notes that the Obama administration
has subsidized at least 10 “green” companies that went bust.
The most publicized of these failures was
Solyndra, a solar-panel maker that received $535 million in loan guarantees
before filing for bankruptcy in August 2011.
Murdock pointed to 10 failures, including:
Panel maker Abound Solar
ate up $70 million of its $400 million Department of Energy (DOE) loan
guarantee and filed for Chapter 7 liquidation on July 2.
Solar Trust planned on
building the world’s largest solar-power plant, and the DOE offered a $2.1
billion loan guarantee provided the firm raised private capital. Solar
Trust filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 2.
Enerl, an electric car
battery company, got a $118.5 million DOE stimulus grant in August 2009
and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Jan. 26.
Energy Conversion
Devices, a solar-laminate supplier, received a $13.3 million stimulus tax
credit to update its Michigan factory and hire some 600 people. It filed
for bankruptcy in February.
Raser Technologies
received a $33 million stimulus grant to develop a geothermal plant in
Utah. Raser declared bankruptcy in April 2011.
The 10 failed projects alone cost $3.4
billion in taxpayer funds and commitments, according to Murdock, who concludes:
“Rather than slam Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital — which deployed private
capital behind Staples, Sports Authority, and other still-thriving corporations
— President Obama should beg taxpayers’ forgiveness for pouring their
hard-earned cash down at least 10 green rat holes.”
