“Let's take a look at the eligible recipients of this $27 billion boondoggle: State-sponsored green banks; nonprofit or quasi-government green banks--so much for the free market, Mr. Chairman--and nonprofit energy conservation funds and nonprofit social funds, just to name a few. In other words, slush funds, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.”
