More hidden GREEN agenda: Stimulus?
Here is some more of the hidden agenda and stimulus that this pork bill has hidden inside of it. Again WAKE UP AND CALL YOUR SENATOR . This bill must be stopped.
Page 186: Green School requirement
GREEN SCHOOL REQUIREMENT.—An institution of higher education receiving a subgrant
under this section shall use not less than 25 percent of such subgrant to carry out projects for modernization, renovation, or repair that are certified, verified, or consistent with the applicable provisions of—(A) the LEED Green Building Rating Sys12
tem; (B) Energy Star; (C) the CHPS Criteria;(D) Green Globes; or (E) an equivalent program adopted by the State or the State higher education agency.
(more job creation, or economic stimulus?)
PROHIBITED USES OF FUNDS.—No funds awarded under this section may be used for—
(C) modernization, renovation, or repair of facilities—(i) used for sectarian instruction, religious worship, or a school or department of divinity; or (ii) in which a substantial portion of the functions of the facilities are subsumed in a religious mission; or (D) construction of new facilities.

SEC. 9303. MANDATORY PELL GRANTS.
Section 401(b)(9)(A) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070a(b)(9)(A)) is amended— (1) in clause (ii), by striking ‘‘$2,090,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$2,733,000,000’’; and (2) in clause (iii), by striking ‘‘$3,030,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$3,861,000,000’’
(page 192: Pell grants a good program but no jobs created or stimulus to the economy.)
That is an increase of $6,594,000,000.00 .. .... 6 and 1/2 billion in grants that do nothing for the economy.
Tell me someone please explain the economic plan of creating jobs with the green agenda and Pell grants. This does absolutely nothing for the immediate problem. The vast meltdown and looming catastrophe that President Obama claims will happen if this bill is not passed.
