Democrats Spend $57K to Weatherize Each Home- Cash for Caulk Burried in Red Tape

According the US Department of Energy, so far $522 million has been spent from Recovery Act dollars on the Obama's weatherization program, sometimes called "Cash for Caulk". With that 9,100 homes have been 'weatherized', providing temporary jobs or work to 'weatherize' the home and providing energy savings in the future. These are indeed worthy goals, and only came at the cost of about $57,362 per home that was 'weatherized.'

That's right- $57K per weatherized homes. Tubes of caulk are pretty cheap, so where does all that money go? According to the General Accountability Office (GAO), most of it went for 'red tape.'

RED TAPE. This is why government jobs are booming and why government salary is booming- the Obama administration is raising taxes and fees and sucking up massive debt in order to run hugely inefficient programs that do very little good, but funnel large amounts of money for 'red tape.' Red tape is code for government jobs, politically connected unionized employees who are getting pay raises and job security in order to vote consistently Democrat.

Obama and the Democrats = corruption and inefficiency. Next time you go vote, take a look at whether or not your Congressman voted for this program, which pays $57K to weatherstrip a single house.
