1. #1    "A bill introduced by Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, would provide a $30 billion revolving loan fund to small and midsize businesses for conversion to clean energy. Supporters say it will create 680,000 direct green jobs and an additional 2 million indirect jobs over five years; 70 percent of the clean energy systems and components in the country are currently manufactured overseas."
   
   The megacorporation lobbyists are lying to us. A radical change in environmental policy, leading to green energy investment, doesn't destroy business, it just changes it. Jobs lost in coal mining and oil drilling, should that ever happen, would be more-than-replaced with jobs created in new green energy companies. Manufacturing creates more jobs per dollar of revenue than natural resource extraction does. The problem is that the big energy companies have lobbyists and lobbyists own the Republican party outright as well as a sizable chunk of the Democratic Party.

3. #3    Are you kidding? They need the money for wars to make more money for the Rich. They rather send 30000 soldiers to Afghanistan at a clip of one million Dollars/soldier/year than paying a paltry 5000 Dollars or so /yr to insure the 50000 Americans who die every year because they have no Health Care.
   Let's build the Empire and kill all the people who do not want us in their back yards
