The White House announced the federal government will spend $6 billion over four years for a “sustainable energy future” plan with Asian countries that involves loaning tax dollars to other countries to increase their purchasing power for U.S. technology, services and equipment.
I can see why we would want to do this, Asian pollution travels to our west coast. If we could get them to use alternatives or even start using scrubbers on their coal stacks, it might be Americans who benefit.
The Chinese and Indians tend to burn the dirtiest coal because cost is more important to them than pollution despite Beijing having a huge smog problem.

You really should get your info from somewhere that a right wing echo chamber. The money is being loaned from the export-import bank which does not use taxpayer dollars, and in fact, gets a great return on it's loans. The money will be spent right here in the good old USA on USA manufactured products built by USA workers.
What is wrong with that? Why do you hate US companies so much? This is a huge boost to the US economy, providing much needed US jobs.

Actually most US aid requires that American products be bought as a percentage of the contract. Why Caterpillar tractors bulldoze Palestinian homes and the Palestinian police use Colt M-16's.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

You don't get it do you...? He's helping Multi Nation Corporations steal small countries resources. Its a republican dream you stupid ass! We are getting them head over heels in debt and when they can't pay us back in cash, we get their resources. Weve been doing this forever, its called peacefull empire building. Sure the Indigenous people lives are ruined by it and they grow to hate America, and some even become terrorists..but I guess we do need the oil and whatever else they got. Right?
Were gonna get these little "asian" countries over a barrel

EHM's are highly-paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. They funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other foreign "aid" organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet's natural resources. Their tools included fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder. They play a game as old as empire, but one that has taken on new and terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization
