PROBLEM SOLVING, THE GOVT WAY ! YAY FOR US!
“Actually, environmental regulations create more jobs because it drives innovation. There’s more investment from venture capitalists into trying to invent the new technologies which we use here in the United States and then we export around the rest of the world. What’s really going on here is that there’s a contest amongst Republicans as to who can be the most anti-environment. For Republicans, EPA stands for ‘Every Polluter’s Ally.’ And, you know, when Rick Perry says that he wants Texas to be able to secede from the union, he also wants the union to secede from science. Rick Perry and these other guys, they’re allergic to science. And too many of the tea party people, who basically don’t believe in science are now controlling a Republican party that once had a long rich history,” Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) told MSNBC on Thursday night.
Just so I understand, if we regulate more heavily, private investors clamor to find ways to invest money to meet the new regulations!
Here’s a new regulation, if you get to serve 2 terms in Congress, you can never take a govt paycheck from ANY LEVEL OF US GOVT again.
That should cause, you Ed, to innovate a new way to earn money with all the good jobs out there. Maybe you can pioneer a new way to make scented marbleized soaps in the Sunnstein-Powers Village.

Now, THERE is an idea I can fully support!
It is true that regulation can create a lot of jobs. There was a recent case in England where a verger who used to climb on a very tall ladder to change lightbulbs was no longer allowed to do so by the elf and softie regulations, they had to have scaffolding erected by qualified staff and the person changing the bulbs also had to be qualified.
