Wherein boobs like Algore and his minions gather to spend YOUR dollars to save us from, uh, er, hmmmm, ..... ....something.
I am shocked! Shocked I say!
So, president Zero wants to solve this by ....wait for it...giving them moo money.
This summer, federal inspectors made a routine visit to 11 homes in St. Louis to see what taxpayers got for the $5 billion that President Obama spent to help Americans weatherize their homes to save energy.
What they found was quite a
surprise. Some of the energy-efficient furnaces installed at taxpayer
expense spewed carbon monoxide that could poison occupants. New water
heaters lacked required pressure valves, putting them in jeopardy of
exploding. And a handful of contractors—unfamiliar with the nuances of
specialized weatherization work—had used air blowers in homes with
asbestos, potentially dispersing the cancer-causing agent, according to
several Energy Department inspector-general reports.
The "Duh" quote of the day is in this paragraph....
It turned out that as so much money was being spent so quickly, a lot of state and local governments, as well as contractors, simply weren’t ready for the job at hand. "You don’t have trained people to do those jobs in places like Arizona or Florida," says Earl Devaney, chairman of the Recovery Board and Obama’s handpicked watchdog to oversee stimulus spending. "It turned into a cottage industry." A senior Energy Department official agreed: "We were clearly not ready to take all this money, especially at the state level."
