Green Jobs?

Interest in the Chevy Volt has greatly diminished. However, Obama declared on his bus tour that "you need to understand your market." He continued with you can not make money on SUVs and trucks only.

More $ from Peter to pay Paul.

Did you hear that they are saying that food stamps are a stimulus to the economy. What? Paul can buy food and that creates jobs? As long as Mary or Paul or Timothy are buying food, jobs are SAVED. Created? Not.

And what about Peter? Since he's supporting green jobs, providing food for Paul et al, and contributing to the crushing interest on our nation's debt, Peter has less $ to spend.

Now we threaten to take more and more of Peter's earnings. Will he invest what he has left? Will he take the risk of hiring more people? Will he start a new venture?

Would you? Uncertainty reigns. Peter is clinging to his $ and keeping it safe.

'til later
