Green Jobs Program to Recycle Two Non-Green Jobs for Every One New Green Job Created

Washington, D.C.--Protesters supporting a "green jobs" program gathered on Capitol Hill today to promote a new study that shows Spain -- a country already heavily invested in green jobs -- had to spend $833,000 per new green job, and sacrificed 2.2 non-green jobs for every new green job created.

Green jobs supporters hailed the findings to justify "an American job recycling plan" in which two jobs from more productive sectors would be recycled to create each new job in a less productive sector.

If the findings in Spain are at all comparable to what could be expected from an American green jobs program, President Obama's promise to create 5 million green jobs will cost 11 million jobs in other sectors, and the medium-term increase in unemployment would be 6 million jobs.

Eyebrows Raised as "Green Jobs" Czar Orders Millions of Red Worker Uniforms

Washington, D.C.—Van Jones, President Obama’s “green jobs” czar, raised eyebrows yesterday when he placed an order for millions of red worker uniforms.

Jones -- who until recently was a self-described communist who founded the group STORM, a Marxist-Leninist organization that revered communist leader Mao Tse-Tung, who killed tens of millions of his own people -- said in an interview that the “green movement” was intended to lead to “complete revolution.”

When asked why the uniforms ordered were red, not green, a spokesman in Jones’ office said “Red is the new green.”

Jones later said he had not "carefully reviewed" the order form for the millions of red worker uniforms before he signed it, just as he said he didn't carefully review a "truther" petition he signed in 2004 that accused the Bush Administration of conspiring with the 9/11 terrorists.
