The Obama Administration and congressional proponents of an aggressive environmental agenda have tried to recast their policies as a boost to the economy.
From the stimulus package to pending global warming legislation to the Senate's upcoming jobs bill, the latest mantra is green jobs; employment to be created by imposing various environmental measures.
Global warming legislation has also been also touted as a green jobs measure, including the Senate's pending Boxer-Kerry cap-and-trade bill.
These efforts will increase federal spending and exert new government control over the private sector.
All of which is good for me. Big Gubmint.
