Aw heck, I can't say anything that Steyn hasn't already said, but better.

Just, wow! Who’d have thought the green jobs program would be a failure?

I really can’t think of the last time I disagreed with Mark Stein. Which of course is proof of his genius.

You seem to disagree with him on the spelling of his surname. ;-)

Are you sure this is a Steyn piece? It doesn’t really sound like his writing, and I can’t find an attribution on the IBD website.

“Green”, in and of itself won’t get us there. My experience has been that “green” usually costs more and doesn’t work as well.

There are some exceptions, LED’s, d-limonene and powder-coating for instance. But these are sorted out by a free market, as a rule and not government mandate or subsidy.

Yeah, it has been a huge disappointment. 0bama promised me a nice high paying ‘green’ job grooming his unicorns, and I’ve yet to get a paycheck for it.

Now all I got left is HOPE and CHANGE Hoping for some spare Change.

You may be right. I re-read it, and couldn’t find ANY author. I picked this up from a facebook friend, and it ran there with the same publicity photo that runs with Mark Steyn’s byline. Mods, can you please delete Mark Steyn’s name from the title and author line?

JLS, please don’t add this to your ping list.

Does anyone think that the green front money will be repaid?

The liberals can’t argue the points, and the conservatives don’t need to add anything to it.
