Every special interest in the U.S. (including our own special interests) will claim that their form of yummy bacon is "stimulus," whatever the heck that means.It's like global warming. Too hot? Global warming. Too cold? Global warming. Too wet? Global warming, etc. Until the economy collapsed, GW was the universal political solvent. Now it's economic stimulus, aka political viagra. I want to form an investment company called Shovels R Us, Inc., and, like the guys on Car Talk, guarantee a 50% return on investment. We guarantee that is you invest with us, we will return 50% of your investment. Show us the money. Clean coal is preposterous, but so is "clean" any form of energy generation. "Green jobs" is another con job, up there with "the check is in the mail." Jobs are jobs. If I don't have one, I don't give a damn whether the one I'm offered is "green." Coal miners (God love them) have"green" jobs, only theirs are denominated in greenbacks. It’s entirely predictable.
