Is Obama Always Faithful to our Marines?
The current political winds in Washington, DC, have dictated that less will be spent on the various Branches of the Armed Forces of the Unites States.
Case in point: the Commander-in-Chief has decided to fire 20,000 of our U.S. Marines.
In an article published by San Diego, California's North County Times, ironically on Thanksgiving Day, Military Affairs reporter Gretel C. Kovach cites;"The Corps is shrinking by 20,000 Marines, to 182,100."
The North County Times also cited that America's premier fighting force is;"scraping to repair or replace battle-worn equipment."
In spite of the Nobel Peace Prize award winning Obama ordering a recent surge in combat troops the Afghanistan theater of war, Kovach also pointed out that America's beloved Marine Corps is still to be slashed by roughly 20 percent;"despite no sign of an enemy collapse."
So What Will The Taxpayers Money Be Spent On?
Earlier this week, Breitbart.com covered the recent agreement Barack Obama has promised billions of Yankee dollars to the oil-rich and overwhelmingly Muslim nations of Indonesia and Brunei.
As reported, $6,000,000,000 worth of American taxes has been promised to the two neighboring nations to promote "green energy."
Many green energy companies in the United States, such as Solyndra and About Solar have been dismal failures despite the over $1,200,000,000 infusion of tax dollars from the Obama Administration.

Yesterday the United States, Brunei, and Indonesia formed the US-Asia Pacific Comprehensive Partnership for a Sustainable Energy Future, and President Barack Obama promised up to $6 billion for the green energy idea.
“The Partnership will offer a framework for consolidating and expanding energy and environmental cooperation across existing regional forums to advance efforts to ensure affordable, secure, and cleaner energy supplies for the region,” said the White House.
There are four specific priorities the Partnership wants to concentrate on: renewables and cleaner energy; markets and interconnectivity; the emerging role of natural gas; and sustainable development. An estimated $9 trillion is needed just for electricity through 2035.
This is how the $6 billion will be split:
- The Export-Import Bank of the United States will launch a program to make available up to $5 billion in export credit financing to eligible countries in the region over the next four years to increase access to American technology, services and equipment for the implementation of energy infrastructure projects.
- The U.S. State Department will oversee a $1 million energy capacity-building fund to support partnership activities via project preparation and technical assistance
Many green energy companies failed here in America, with some receiving millions in tax-payer money. The most infamous one is Solyndra, a California based solar panel company. The Energy Department gave them a loan of $535 million dollars, but they went bankrupt in August 2011. $350 million tax write-offs were allowed in the deal, and the House Oversight Committee thinks the total loss could be $849 million.
Abound Solar received a $400 million loan in 2010 and ended up laying off half of their employees in 2012. They announced on June 28, 2012 they would file for bankruptcy.
Despite the green energy failures in the States, President Obama looks forward to working with these countries to advance alternative energy.
