I do also (cap and trade that is).
Being in the housing and commercial construction industry for almost 25 years now, I am very attuned to "green" efforts how many have jumped on board for profit and to conform to regulation. If you could see some of the inner workings of it, I believe you might see a lot of it as a bit of a joke. Be that as it may, jobs are jobs as long as they aren't all just built on the notion of green.
We really need to start to produce a viable product in this country soon or it's going to be government and service related jobs for all of us. If you subscribe any to the notion that government does produce a product as such, we had better start investing in the private sector.
For those of you who say, well, don't just bitch, provide some solutions I give you this...
Maybe a good place to start would be to tax the hell out of corporate entities that wish to produce products overseas and at the same time, wish to bring them back for sale here. At the same time, provide incentives to manufactures that produce a product here for sale here. This would stimulate job growth
here by allowing companies who wish to play by the rules the additional capitol to grow and hire.
Maybe thats just a naive approach to things from a guy who likes to cut to the chase
I'm just a guy who would like to get to the heart of the problem (some of it anyway) and deal with it accordingly.
Sorry about the somewhat off topic rant. I just can't help myself
