Green Jobs to Help Economy Is Liberal Fraud

The link below and an excerpt is a fantastic review of how the liberal left is using "green job employment" as a stick to confuse the general public, congress and state legislators to buy into a sump hole of catastrophic financial indebtedness.

It's clear to me that this is just another tool that the liberal Marxist left is using to control the population with flawed science and out right lies to promote their agenda of a central government being all things to all people and giving absolute power to them.

We must be on our guard to prevent this from happening by being informed - this article will do just that.

Keep the faith - being forewarned is being forearmed. The battle goes on!

The solutions to environmental and economic problems, domestically and internationally,
are often tied together. The assertion that “green jobs” can be created to improve environmental
quality while reducing unemployment is behind an aggressive push for a “green economy” in the
United States and elsewhere. For example, a recent report from the U.S. Conference of Mayors,
Current and Potential Green Jobs in the U.S. Economy, contends that investing in green jobs
would produce a remarkable range of benefits:

The economic advantages of the Green Economy include the macroeconomic
benefits of investment in new technologies, greater productivity, improvements in
the U.S. balance of trade, and increased real disposable income across the nation.
They also include the microeconomic benefits of lower costs of doing business
and reduced household energy expenditures. These advantages are manifested in
job growth, income growth, and of course, a cleaner environment.

1Green jobs advocates see no downside to their preferred polices: “It is all good news.”
2The Conference of Mayors estimated that green jobs can provide “up to 10% of new job growth
over the next 30 years”

3 and others are similarly optimistic.

4 Governments, non-governmental organizations, and international bodies all seek to promote the creation of green jobs. Given the claims that every dollar spent on a host of green job programs will be repaid many times over, it is hard to see how creating green jobs or “greening” existing jobs could be seen as anything other than a fantastic opportunity.

Our review of the claims of green jobs proponents, however, leaves us skeptical because
the green jobs literature is rife with internal contradictions, vague terminology, dubious science,
and ignorance of basic economic principles. Indeed, the green jobs literature claims resemble the
promises of long-term financial prosperity offered by Ponzi schemes. New taxes, increased
public borrowing, and government subsidies will be needed to support green jobs programs. We
find no evidence that these “investments” in green jobs can support the promised results.
Investing taxpayers’ money in developing green jobs as an economic and environmental
panacea, are likely, like a Ponzi scheme, to result in empty bank accounts.
