Green Fail: Obama & Democrats Wasted Years & Billions On Stupid "Green" Boondoggles Instead of Working To Fix The Economy One always hopes that an American president is is intelligent enough to pursue smart economic policies that have proven to create both economic and job growth. Unfortunately, this president's ' Obamanomics' strategy has proven to be the antithesis of smart policy. Not only was 'Obamanomics' not smart, Obama doubled-down on stupidity by pursuing "green" energy/product boondoggles that have only proven to enrich his large donors while stealing money from the middle-class pocketbook. At 'C3' we've been compiling headlines about the green boondoggles that Obama and Democrats love and promote.
