EPA Gives Millions In Foreign Handouts | Judicial Watch
The cash was issued via 65 foreign grants that dont
even include Canada and Mexico, according to a report
issued this week by the House Energy and Commerce
Committee. 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.
An additional $150,000 went to help the International
Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) combat fraud
in carbon trading and $15,000 to Indonesias 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 reports 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 leftwing groups have received
millions of taxpayer dollars to help poor and indigenous
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.
