The United States has just provided 300 million dollars to the United Nations to help fund an initiative meant to provide clean cookstoves to poor nations. The decision to send all this money off for such an unworthy cause makes one question where this money may have really gone to. Perhaps to further finance Syrian rebels or Mexican cartels. What is most difficult to believe is how the government thought no one would notice $300 million dollars are being spent solely on providing cooking stoves.
It’s not clear how American taxpayer-funded stoves operating in a poor African village makes the U.S. better, healthier and stronger. What we do know for certain is that Uncle Sam has been a major contributor to a United Nations project, called Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, that aims to improve the lives of those living in the poorest areas of the world by reducing the health risks of indoor smoke from cooking meals over open fires and crude stoves. …
It’s a noble cause, but how does the U.S. and its residents benefit from this? The federal employee who just received an award for his role in the initiative works at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). His name is Jacob Moss and he’s being recognized for his “commitment and innovation in helping to create and lead an initiative to enable homes in developing nations to adopt cleaner, more efficient cookstoves and fuels to improve and save lives.” This month he won the prestigious Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals (Sammies), known as the Oscars of government service.

However the money is being spent, it’s a scant rationalization to spend it on cookstoves that won’t even benefit US citizens. Instead of shipping this money off to Senegal or Nigeria or Libya, this money could have put to better use directly benefiting United States citizens.
That should of went for ss

How about the Military Vets??
What about the carbon emissions ? We can’t use them in America while Obama is in power!!!
A stove? And I have 3 rocks
$300 million for those little stoves…they must be made of solid gold…I am sorry those people have such a tough life…but I am more sorry we don’t do the right thing for our own citizens, hungry American children, and our precious Veterns…
While taking money from SSI.
Rediculous. No more foreign aid until we take care of all Americans…not illegals, muslims, or people who claim to be african slaves.
