First it was going to put the coal plants out of business. Killing jobs. Then it was going to stunt house sales. Now it seems the grand promise of all those "green jobs" from the cap and trade legislation just won't happen either.

It will hit the oil industry here in Texas too. That's why there is so much fervor for succession here.

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says her advocacy for cap-and-trade is all about "jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs." But there's no evidence that employment has grown anywhere in the world because of energy mandates such as cap-and-trade.

A study released in March by four professors hosted by the "University of Illinois casts a great deal of doubt about green job creation.

The academics found claims of green jobs to be unsubstantiated or overstated, and that energy mandates will likely kill more jobs in other industries than they create."

I think Obama jumpedthe Shark with his Whitehouse speech this morning on Job Innovation.....with 10 small Business useful Idiots standing behind him....as if these guys were gonna overcome the 427,000 jobless last month.

It is NOT working anymore for Obama. Speeches do not get people off the un-employment line. Congress is passing Sh.t for Bills. Green just is NOT going to work fast enough, we need some REAL job growth, not 2015 Job Growth in the Hundreds.

Its going to be an ANGRY un-employed MOB soon....it isn’t going to be Cool to call the CIA liars, or the “War is Lost” or “We got jobs on the way”....is just another Lie.

She's either evil, a moron, or both. Looks like she wants to notch a couple million extra job losses with cap and tax. If she believes that this legislation will create even a small fraction of the jobs it will destroy, she ought to be tested for senile dementia right now.
