$135,294 per job? It's time for real solutions.

On Friday, Sean Higgins with Investor's Business Weekly blogged about President Obama’s recent announcement on a new Green Jobs initiative. The new program will award $2.3 billion in tax credits to create just 17,000 green energy jobs.

“Well, get out your calculator. $2.3 billion for 17,000 jobs equals $135,294 per job. (And that’s not including the eventual interest on this deficit spending). Those green jobs had better pay well over six figures to justify that expense.”

With double-digit unemployment and a soaring deficit, Americans can't afford the Administration's misguided policies that hinder economic growth. It's time for real solutions.

House Republicans have an "all of the above" energy solution that will ensure energy independence, create American jobs, and help promote a cleaner environment.
