Does anybody, just anybody, believe it when government tells us a government program will grow jobs?
"Supporters and opponents of the law disagree about its potential effects. The California Air Resources Board, the state clean-air agency administering the law, says the cap would help the economy. It would raise the price of a unit of energy, but reduce Californians' total energy bills through greater efficiency, the board says, freeing up money that would lead to more jobs.
But the board has scaled back its optimism. In a 2008 study, it projected the measure would produce a net gain of more than 100,000 California jobs. Economists widely criticized that study as too rosy. A second assessment, released in March, projects a net gain of about 10,000 jobs."
In other words they cut back by 90% the number of jobs it will create. But no where in the report does government note the jobs LEAVING California, or jobs not coming here.
Nor does it calculate the cost to the consumer, and the jobs added costs will cause.
Most importantly, the whole effort created by those suffering from AGS (Al Gore Syndrome) is based on fraud, smears, shredded data and admitted lies. When will we start laughing at these folks and tell them to become honest before to pay attention to them?
