List of Foreign Countries Receiving BILLIONS in Obama Stimulus Funds: Taking American Jobs – Appalling!

August 13, 2012
By Maggie

If you are not aware that Obama’s obscene $787 BILLION stimulus program now stands at $1.2 TRILLION and growing, please read that story here, but not before taking a look at the foreign companies receiving your tax money from the ever growing Obama Stimulus. Let your friends know the BILLIONS intended to stimulate the American economy, stimulated the rest of the world, and in the tsunami that resulted, thousands of Americans lost their jobs: A record of a President’s stimulus failure goes round the world:

AUSTRALIA: $162,000 for Melanoma Tumor Samples to be sent to the National Cancer Institute
CHINA: Outsourced jobs to China.
● $30 MILLION to an American LED manufacturer to open plants. It did, and half of the company’s employees are now located in China.
● $337 MILLION for an Arizona solar plant – the panels will be supplied by a Chinese solar panel manufacturer.
● GE cancelled a contract with an American manufacturer of parts for Wind Turbines, and then ordered from China. The company, ATI, offered to match the price from China. GE refused the order and the American company laid off 302 workers.
● GE has used Chinese-made Wind Towers over American Towers at Stimulus funded Shepherds Flat Wind Farm in Oregon.
● A solar power company received $5.4 MILLION in grant monies, then laid off America workers based on an increased reliance on imports from China.
DENMARK:
● $51.6 MILLION in Obama Stimulus Grants to build factories in the US. Layoff of 180 US workers have been announce,
● and possibly another 1,600 by the end of 2012. $218 MILLION Stimulus grant for wind turbines for the US assembled in Denmark.
● $25 MILLION for the construction of a “Demonstration Scale Biorefinery.”
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Obama Stimulus funds for Renewable Energy Call Center (could have been a US project).
EL SALVADOR: Stimulus funds used to hire hundreds of workers in El Salvador and the Dominican Republic to administer Renewable Energy Appliance Rebate Program (could have been a US project).
FRANCE: Obama Stimulus funds for foreign-made Wind Turbines. $69 MILLION in cash grants
FINLAND: $100,000 to build luxury electric sports cars
GERMANY:
● $440 MILLION for Wind Farms before Stimulus was passed. Turbines for US used were manufactured in Germany.
● Another $100 MILLION to Spain in grant monies for Wind Farms. In September 2011, the company announced the would lay-off 10% of their American workforce.
GREAT BRITAIN/UK: UK:
● $39 MILLION in Obama Stimulus funds to build electric delivery trucks.
● Another British private equity firm received $40+ MILLION in Obama Stimulus Funds by buying an American company days before the Stimulus funds were designated.
INDIA: Stimulus funds for Wind Turbines manufactured in India for the US use. $69 MILLION in cash grants.
INDONESIA: $1.5 MILLION to reduce pollution in Jakarta, one of Obama’s home cities
ITALY:
● Obama Stimulus funds for foreign-made Wind Turbines. Italian company, Brevini Wind was given a $12.75 MILLION Tax Credit to manufacture gearboxes in Indiana. The company promised to hire 450 Americans. So far, only 70 jobs have evolved and the facility will not be in operation until late 2013.
● Other Italian Wind Turbine manufacturers received of $84 Million in CASH GRANTS throug Obama’s Stimulus
JAPAN: Before the Obama Stimulus was passed, we sent money to Japan to build a Wind Farm. $91.4 MILLION in grants – 180 Turbines manufactured in Japan by Mitsubishi.
LUXEMBOURG: $31.5 MILLION in Obama Stimulus funds for a Waste Heat Recovery Unit
MEXICO:
● Obama Stimulus funds for Mexico. Mexico’s SunPower says some of the solar panels for the $1.3 BILLION stimulus-backed California Solar Valley Ranch will be manufactured in Mexico – not California.
● Another $16 MILLION to create green manufacturing jobs in Mexico, while the US company laid off workers here and sent work to Mexico.
NEW ZEALAND: Stimulus funds go to NZ contractor – work that could have been done by a US contractor. $817,000 awarded to Connexionz to install bus monitors for the city of Santa Clarita.
RUSSIA: We funded a company in Russia. It went bankrupt. Russian investors bought it. $118 MILLION from Obama’s stimulus to produce vehicle batteries. The Russian investor’s company may do work for the US Military!
SPAIN: Obama Stimulus funds for foreign-made Wind Turbines. $1.5 BILLION in loans and grants. The company claimed it had created over 15,000 American jobs but the company has only 850 US-based employees.
SWITZERLAND: A Swiss-based company received $50+ MILLION in Stimulus contracts for Smart Grid Meters. Cathy Zoi, a former Obama Energy Department Official held over $250,000 in stock in the company. Zoi has previously served as an Executive Director with the company before joining the Obama administration.
THAILAND: $200 BILLION for General Motors plant in Thailand – after GM took a taxpayer-funded bailout they build the Thailand lant to build diesel engines for the Chevy Colorado Pickup truck.
VIETNAM: GE builds Wind Turbine plant. GM’s GE’s Jeffery Immelt chairs the President’s Job Council and GM received over $1.2 BILLION in Obama Stimulus funds.
SOUTH KOREA:
● Obama Stimulus funded America jobs used to hire foreign nationals. $300 MILLION to manufacturer electric vehicle batteries after building plants in Michigan. Unions are balking and saying foreign nationals are being brought in to fill jobs for Americans.
● The Department of Energy admits that 11 of 18 contractors are Asian firms. $179 MILLION for parts from South Korea.

FEDS CAUGHT PROMOTING WELFARE TO FOREIGNERS - JUDICIAL WATCH REPORT: OBAMA CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO PROTECT BORDERS

http://dancingczars.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/feds-caught-promoting-welfare-to-foreigners-judicial-watch-report-obama-cannot-be-trusted-to-protect-borders/

Do you understand his INTENT now?  He is destroying us constitutionally by eliminating our rights, and economically by insane spending and growing the already monstrous government we cannot sustain.

The train is hurtling to disaster - the tracks will disappear and the cliff will be the doom of America.

IMPEACH OBAMA!

QUOTE OF THE DECADE

The Quote of the Decade: "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
 
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

He's a disgusting, transparent lying bastard who has duped you all.  Mindless.  Anyone who loves him is mindless and pitiful.

DEMOCRAT LEADERS: WE AREN'T DONE TAXING AMERICANS

http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/obama-taxes-2013-recession/2013/01/07/id/470418?s=al&promo_code=11A3E-1

Then read this:



Democrat Leaders: We Aren’t Done Taxing Americans


r-PELOSI-SPLASH-hugeAfter the fiscal cliff deal was done, imposing higher taxes this year on all those making $40,000 per year or more, three different Democrats took to three different Sunday shows to push for more taxation on the American people.
First up was Democrat House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). She appeared on CBS’ Face the Nation and Bob Schieffer asked her if the “revenue side” of the fiscal cliff is complete. For Democrats, revenue means taxes.
“No, no, it is not,” Pelosi replied. “I mean, the president had said originally he wanted $1.6 trillion in revenue. He took it down to $1.2 as a compromise. In this legislation (fiscal cliff) we had $620 billion, very significant, high-end tax — changing the high-end tax rate to 39.6 percent. But that is not enough on the revenue side.”
“Are you talking about more taxes?” Schieffer asked.

“We’re talking about looking at the tax code, putting everything on the table from the standpoint of closing loopholes… and we know that we can do that… special subsidies for big oil, for example, $38 billion right there,” Pelosi said. Which was a long answer for, “Yes we are talking about more taxes.”
“But again, not to take things in isolation, just to say, OK, well, how much more revenue can we get as we go forward?” Of course this is isolated. It’s exactly what she and her accomplices in Washington are saying and doing across the board.
When Schieffer asked if the Democrats wanted to eliminate tax deductions, Pelosi replied, “My idea of tax reform is to have a comprehensive view. We’ve talked about tax simplification and fairness as something that we should be engaged in all along — long before these fights came along. And now we have a chance to do that with I’d say a heightened awareness by the public on why we need to do certain things.”
“So let’s, you know, put on the table what it is that we can, in order to increase revenue,” Pelosi said. “We’ve changed the rate, the high-end tax rate, (to) 39.6 percent, a very important step. And again, there’s much more that we can do by just subjecting it to the scrutiny of what is bringing in revenue, what is creating growth. And we don’t want to hurt that if there’s some tax provisions that create growth. We want to support that.”
While she attempted to talk about not raising taxes on those in the middle class, sort of like they did with the previous deal and then taxed us, she used the same rhetoric as before stating that taxing those in higher income brackets was “not off the table.”
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D_MD) appeared on Fox News Sunday and echoed the talking points that Pelosi put forward. When asked about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s statement that there would be no more tax hikes, Van Hollen replied, “Well, if Mitch McConnell is going to draw the line in the sand, it’s going to be a recipe for more gridlock. We have to take a balanced approach to long-term deficit reduction — meaning additional (spending) cuts.”

For Democrats “balanced” means getting all they want and giving nothing in return, like real spending cuts, for example.
Van Hollen told a lie of about $110 billion concerning the fiscal cliff deal. He said, “”We raised $730 billion in revenue from very high income individuals. As we go forward, we need to adopt the same framework as the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission, meaning a combination of cuts and revenue.” Actually Congressman you guys might raise $620 billion, if you are lucky. That’s peanuts in the big scheme of things. Obviously the Maryland congress man needs a course in economics as he referenced “closing tax loopholes” and declared, “So, through tax reform, we can raise more revenue matched by additional cuts to address the sequester issue and long-term deficit.” Raising taxes produces less revenue. It always has and everyone knows you don’t do that when the economy is in the toilet.
Finally, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) appeared on CNN’s State of the Union and continued with the whole “close the loopholes” rhetoric. “I can tell you that there are still deductions, credits, special treatments under the tax code which ought to be looked at very carefully,” he said. “We forgo about $1.2 trillion a year in the tax code, money that otherwise would go to the government, and when you look closely, some of those things are near and dear to us individually and to the economy — the mortgage interest deduction, charitable deductions, deductions for state and local taxes, but beyond that, trust me, there are plenty of things within that tax code, these loopholes where people can park their money in some island offshore and not pay taxes, these are things that need to be closed. We can do that and use the money to reduce the deficit.”
Host Candy Crowley asked him, “So there are other taxes that you believe that you can, however you want to put them, raise, retrieve, whatever, from the wealthy?” Note his response.
“Absolutely,” replied Durbin. “And I’ll also tell you that I think we need to open our minds to our tax revenue. You know, we’ve had conversations about an infrastructure fund that will really start America building again, for the highways and airports and locks and dams and things like that…I believe we should have energy taxes that really fund infrastructure investment.”
“Open our minds” is code for steal from the American people’s wallets. He’s talking about the same “infrastructure” that Barack Obama talked about in 2008 and threw hundreds of thousands of dollars at that apparently still didn’t get things fixed as he made that a part of his 2012 campaign also.
Oh I almost forgot, Durbin also thinks that raising gas taxes should be raised too, as well as, higher taxes on electricity. Tell me, just who are those taxes affecting? It isn’t just the rich!
