EPA Gives Over $100 Million of Your Money to Foreign Groups and Countries

In case you haven't looked recently, the United States is broke. That hasn't stopped the EPA from handing out millions of your dollars to foreign groups like they are popsicles on a hot sunny day.

The Environmental Protection Agency has doled out nearly $100 million in grants to foreign groups and governments over the past decade, according to a new congressional report.

The report from Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee shows the pace of foreign grants has quickened under the Obama administration, with $27 million in EPA funds going abroad since early 2009 -- not counting projects in Canada and Mexico.

The report said an unknown amount of EPA grant money has also gone overseas "indirectly" via grants to U.S. universities and organizations doing work in other countries.

"At a time of record debt and soaring unemployment here in the United States, the committee has discovered that EPA has intensified its foreign grants program," the report said.


But don't you worry, Obama is going to get that money back, and you are going to pay out of your pocket for its return back to the Treasury. Remember, Obama signed an executive order for the EPA to regulate carbon, which in turn will raise your energy rates as you pay more to see your carbon sins forgiven.
