This is why America is broke and Americans are sick of politicians spending our money on foreign countries. Keep the money inside the U.S. instead of sending it to China. *(CNSNews.com<http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/epa-doles-out-13-million-china-congressm> )* – *The Environmental Protection Agency has given at least $1,285,535 in grants to China to promote environmental research in the country*. In all, the EPA issued six grants that went to China, most of which pertained to researching methane in Chinese coal mines and reducing carbon emissions in China, a communist dictatorship long criticized by human rights groups. Two of those grants were awarded during the Bush administration; four were awarded during the Obama administration. All 6 should be revoked, no matter what idiot administration issued them. The issue, at a time of mounting debt and deficits, is about fiscal responsibility, said Robert Gordon, senior advisor for strategic outreach for the Heritage Foundation, who has closely monitored EPA grants, and recently wrote a piece criticizing the Chinese grants. “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,” Gordon 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 largest EPA grant<http://yosemite.epa.gov/oarm/igms_egf.nsf/3b85f9fbd4a5e54b85256fb60070e5a2/dd658fedd549eb0385257787002dbcd5!OpenDocument> was for $290,000 for a project that began on Jan. 1, 2010 and is estimated to end on Dec. 31, 2014. The project description says the grant is to: “Strengthen China's capacity to improve performance in 5 areas of environmental management: (1) air; (2) water; (3) toxic chemicals; (4) hazardous, medical and solid waste; and (5) environmental law, implementation and enforcement,” the description said. We could cut our deficit by reducing the EPA and by ending grants to China.
