Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs

Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives informed us that the newly passed global warming bill is about four words....jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. And she is, of course, entirely correct.

Other countries, without the emissions restrictions we have here, will benefit from this bill as more of our manufacturing jobs move away. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs for them.

The bureaucracy to govern the new legislation will create more jobs.

The bill is certainly not about cleaning up the planet, because making more dirty air somewhere else doesn't make the world a better place.

And it is not about stimulating a new economy, because kneecapping our current industry and hoping that a new industry arises does not guarantee that it will.
