EPA gave over a million dollars in grant money to China

In an age when the U.S. government is spending the nation into oblivion, it
never ceases to amaze us to learn of the new and inventive ways Washington can
dispose of your tax dollars.

In a report published last week, Cybercast New Service said the Environmental
Protection Agency gave more than $1.2 million to China in the form of six grants
“most of which pertained to researching methane in Chinese coal mines and
reducing carbon emissions…”

And, in the true political spirit of Washington, this gift from American
workers was “bipartisan;” two grants were paid during the Bush administration
and four during President Barack Obama’s short tenure.

Fine – it was only $1.2 million, and in a budget of trillions, that’s like
someone with a hundred dollars giving away a penny. But the fact is that money
doesn’t belong to the EPA or even the federal government, per se. It belongs to
the American people, and we doubt the American people, in general, would approve
of sending money to a serial rights violator that just happens to be the world’s
largest communist nation.

Furthermore, in an age when the federal budget is so full of debt it should
be published in red ink, why are we giving away free money to anyone? The
current cycle of out-of-control federal spending has landed the nation in a
river of red as it is – to the tune of $14.3 trillion – but all some lawmakers
and the president want to do is go further in debt.

And there is this aspect. U.S. financial growth has been anemic for months,
with first-quarter gross domestic product registering a paltry 1.8 percent.
China’s economy, meanwhile, has been growing as fast as Americans’ waistlines –
nearly nine times as much. Why is America giving one red cent to China? In fact,
China is the number one holder of U.S. debt, but we have an American regulatory
agency paying for Chinese research?

“I’m just not sure that the EPA has addressed all the things it’s supposed to
be doing here in the best manner possible before they’re spending money
overseas,” Robert Gordon, senior advisor for strategic outreach for the Heritage
Foundation, who monitors EPA grants, told CNSNews.com. “At the end of the day,
we’re spending money that we don’t have and on things we shouldn’t be spending
it on if we had it.”

The EPA, in an email to the online news service, said the grants were awarded
through the EPA’s Coalbed Methane Outreach Program (CMOP), a program aimed at
reducing coal-mining methane emissions. The agency also said “U.S. companies are
in the forefront of coal mine methane recovery and utilization,” and that China
has sent delegations to the U.S. to learn about methane emissions.

Here’s an idea: Why not just tell the Chinese how to reduce their coal
emissions? If they were serious about doing so anyway, would they need to be
paid to do so?

In case lawmakers aren’t watching the polls, taxpayers – i.e. voters –
are
more concerned about the nation’s debt and economy than any other issues
heading into the 2012 elections. Washington ignores this at its peril.

The EPA is handing out money to the commies while it’s own back yard is a
stew of toxins? Maybe if they did not give money away, they would be able to
do the job they are not doing? Sounds like the grants are just about the right
size for pay-offs. 1.2 million isn’t enough to do anything else. I wonder who
was the recipient of the so-called “grants”? Is there a new millionaire in
China?

I don’t blame China, I’d receive what ever you want to give gladly,
especially when you owe me 2.2 trillion ? I’ll take you out back and let you
smell my cow farts too, if that’ll turn you
on ! The Chinese can show you
how to clean up the air and make money doing it too ! It’s Americans that are
so stupid and to charge a tax for cleaning the air.

When you open your mind, you’ll see, that in a communal culture, everyone
cleans everything for everyone; it’s not a matter of this is mine or that’s
yours, it’s a matter of success. When one succeeds, they all succeed ! It’s
called sharing, and then returning two-fold for the profits you gained.

Americans can’t think that way and it’s the American way that’s going to
destroy America too !
