80000 green jobs created...

in China, south Korea, and Spain. Seriously, we won't get out of this "recession" in this country as long as the private sector is allowed to create jobs in cheap labor markets and pocket the difference.

The Department of Energy estimated that 82,000 jobs have been created and has acknowledged that as much as 80 percent of some green programs, including $2.3 billion of manufacturing tax credits, went to foreign firms that employed workers primarily in countries including China, South Korea and Spain, rather than in the United States.

In a trade complaint against China on Thursday, the United Steelworkers union charged that Beijing is trying to corner the market on green jobs by showering billions of dollars of subsidies on domestic producers and discriminating against foreign firms and goods.

With growing proof that green jobs are heading overseas, even administration sympathizers and environmental advocates have largely abandoned the idea of pushing green funding as a way to stimulate the economy.

1. It has been patently clear from the getgo that this was going to happen.

Who in the Admin or anywhere else thought that jobs weren't going to be outsourced? Did Obama REALLY think jobs would be created in the U.S.? On what grounds did he think this?
