Camelot, meet the New Deal

See the Chris Horner post here.

Excerpt:
One of [Obama's] money lines was “we are going to spend billions of dollars on solar, wind, and biodiesel.” Yes. It's criminal that we haven't done that yet.

The details of how those billions would be spent were less amusing: “We will hire young people who don't have a trade and give them a trade making homes more energy efficient, insulating homes, changing light bulbs, reducing our dependence on dirty power plants.” So, the idealistic, modern-day version of the “ask not what your country can do for you” consists of telling slackers that the government will provide windmill and lightbulb-changing jobs after graduation?
