On the recordJune 3, 2008
According to the earmark list I have, $191 billion goes to worker training, $171 billion goes to mass transit projects, $237 billion goes to natural resource and wildlife adaptation, $288 billion goes to Federal programs of natural resources, $342 billion goes to international climate change, $300 billion goes to agriculture and forestry, and $368 billion goes to reforestation. Under these numbers, only $136 billion out of the trillions of dollars goes to energy efficiency block grants, and that is for local governments.
