Ah the fact checkers again. Do people actually comprehend anything? The fact that politifact makes a claim like this should raise red flags immediately.

Claim:

-------

The claim that 80 percent of the money the foundation raises goes to overhead -- a term used to described expenses that go to management and fundraising costs -- is something that has been made by Carly Fiorina and Rush Limbaugh in varying forms.

Facts (from 2014 tax forms:

-------------------------------------

The foundation reported total expenses in 2014 of a little over $91 million but grants of just $5.1 million. That’s close to 6 percent of the foundation’s money being spent on grants.

in 2014, 87.2 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s expenses were on program services.

Proof the claim is *false*:

-------------------------------------------------------------

Financial statement rules require a nonprofit to split its expenses between program services, fundraising, and management/general costs (the latter two are collectively what are referred to as "overhead")

And that is it. That is the proof. Nothing unusual. They always wave a magic wand as proof.

Then we have these gems hidden in there (red flags!):

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Although it has ‘foundation’ in its name, the Clinton Foundation is actually a public charity, ... In practical terms, this means both that it relies heavily on donations from the public and that it achieves its mission primarily by using those donations to conduct direct charitable activities, as opposed to providing grants from an endowment."

A lot of what the foundation does is have its employees help facilitate partnerships.

examples:

-------------

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, for instance, has gotten credit for providing access to lower-cost drugs for millions of people with HIV/AIDS. The foundation program consolidated both the supply of raw materials to make the drugs and the bidding to supply the finished product.

The Clinton Development Initiative is helping farmers in Malawi grow and sell more crops and has built a warehouse where farmers can store their crops for sale. The foundation is doing something similar for coffee farmers in Haiti.

The devil is in the detail

------------------------------

It is clear that most of the money is spent on employees working for the foundation. They call this "program services" The claim that the employees doing the work for charity is dubious. When people do charitable work they donate their time, money and expertise.

From the tax from, the "program services expenses, page 10, 2014 tax form" is

72 million.

The charity had 91 million in total expenses

72 million in "program services expenses"

a) 5 million in grants

b) 20 million in salaries

c) 12 million in conferences conventions and meetings.

d) ...

I'm not saying the foundation is good or bad, but saying that various republicans claim that most of the money is spent on expenses is false is dubious at best.

Well, the fefe part is slang for:

As compared to the Trump Foundation, the Clinton Foundation did some good, while Trump's lined his pockets and created personal tax deductions using donor money.

More name calling from the libbtwats. That's fine when you're addressing me. But when will you start at least trying to discuss with DG instead of resorting to name calling and calls for violence?

You're really going to have to try harder.

Why is the Paris Agreement not a scam?

For starters it is a nonbinding agreement. It was not voted by the Senate because it would not pass. What is so good about it and how it benefits the US? Lets hear some facts for once.

They got China to pledge major reductions. Great news when you have your major economic competitors agreeing to environmental improvements, and here your world's leading polluters, the U.S. and China, agreeing to reductions.

Trump and Perry want to stifle our rapidly growing jobs sector in clean energy, and Perry is taking steps right now to remove government subsidies for that sector, a plan being written by his friends in the nuclear, coal, and oil/gas sectors.

Trump's game is crash the economy to let him and his rich pals to buy low. Then sell when they 'fix' things. The rich become richer. The poor poorer. The US becomes an easy take over for a dictator if Trump himself does not live long enough to anointed himself that position.

First, reducing emissions gives Americans better air to breath and a better climate to live in.

Second, Americans can participate in a growing economy of new energy sources.

There is money to be made in investing in progress.

As opposed sticking with dated technologies that do not have a future.

The US could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the agreement.

Uhhh. Okay. How about posting some things that would convince you that it was a good thing?

Priebus running away from the swamp? This is a real reporter, but not authoritative.

I'd expect priebus and spicer to go - these are serious, youngish people and they don't want to have the memory of a criminal and failed administration around their necks for long.
