An Obama administration green jobs grant program that spent $11 billion lacks a verifiable job-counting system and likely created only a fraction of the jobs it claims, according to a staff report by the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

While Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the grants “created tens of thousands of jobs,” the government’s own National Renewal Energy Laboratory estimates it created 910 direct jobs

That's only $12,087,912 or around $12-MILLION per job. Why would anybody vote for Obie. What does he do that they want more of, $12-MILLION jobs?

Sounds typical of most liberal's math skills. Of course, they think the education system is just fine...
