Millions of US tax dollars funneled to green scams in Spain and Uruguay while Americans are in economic depression. Congress apparently is fine with it

.
1/6/13, "Ex-Im Bank Funds Green Jobs Overseas," Washington Free Beacon,

 "Bill Richardson sits on Ex-Im Bank committee, board of loan-recipient Spain's Abengoa,"

"The U.S. Export-Import Bank recently steered hundreds of millions of dollars in federal loans to Spanish green energy conglomerate Abengoa, which happens to share an advisory board member with the bank.

The Ex-Im Bank approved a $78.6 million direct loan to Spain-based Abengoa in December. It also approved a $73.6 million direct loan to a wind farm in Uruguay

which is owned by Abengoa.

Former Democratic New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson sits on both the Abengoa International Advisory Board and is currently listed on the Ex-Im bank’s website as a member of the advisory committee that helps guide bank policy.

Richardson was not listed in the Ex-Im Bank’s November announcement of its 2013 Advisory Board members."....via Lucianne
