President Obama devoted nearly $60 billion of his stimulus package to building a new green-based economy rich in renewable energy and strategies to cut carbon. But despite the price tag, not one green job yet exists. It comes down to a problem of etymology. No one can yet agree on what a green job actually is.
Good thing we allocated $60 billion to allegedly create a numbers of something no one can define. Newsweek would have done well to ask for said clarification in, say, January.
The working definition paints a broad stroke: a job that’s good for the economy while simultaneously healing the earth. But that leaves lots open to interpretation-natural gas is technically a cleaner fuel than crude oil, but it’s still unsustainable-making it difficult, if not impossible, to measure whether eco-based jobs are being created and whether, as the administration has claimed, they’re the saviors of a sagging economy.
The reason this is not well defined is because it is something new! They are doing things that have not been done before and that is the case when you are creating something. So you are saying we just keep giving money to Halliburton instead of trying to do new things? Obama promised change not the same tired old nonsense. And he is delivering on that promise but repugnicans cannot understand. Get out of your caves, trogolodytes! Its a new era of change, change we can believe in! The details will be worked out for now its the change that is important!!!
Do you people really not understand? I can’t believe you are that dense!
trogolodytes?????? I thought you turned over a new leaf Lenny and weren’t using the name calling anymore.
Still, I will continue to pray for your redemption.
“This Green plan is so out of the KGB Play book”, read Anatoliy Golitsyn he escaped from the USSR Mnay years ago and was a top KGB Boy his Books are about the plan that is underway with Green political ideals race and the total recruiting of government and political people.
the USSR May be gone but its plan is working real well.
if we do not stand with each other to take down this BS Government in the old way it will take us down one by one in a prison cell.
When Leftists resort to name calling, that’s okay. More of the total double-standard of the fantasy world they have created in their minds.
Lenny, yuo are the classic form of the useful idiot as defined by Karl Marx. Like so many of the dopes that voted for “Change we can believe in!” you have no treal understanding of what that change is. We predicted it here in the RV community, as did other conservatives. I hoped it wouldn’t be as bad as all of the indications pointed to, but it is.
