Click here for linkPresident Obama plans a big jobs announcement—right after he finishes his vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. Expect him to say that green jobs are the key to recovery—that they will generate millions of jobs and a new era of prosperity.
Oh, you’ve already heard that one? So has everyone else. Even The New York Times has begun to debunk Obama’s claim, headlining, “Number of Green Jobs Fails to Live Up to Promises.” Obama’s claim is getting quite old and quite expensive, but remains just as false as ever.
If Congress’ “super-committee” wants to cut wasteful spending, the green jobs agenda is a great place to start.
Obama’s 2011 Labor Day announcement is likely to echo his similar jobs announcement just after Labor Day in 2010, asking for another $50-billion in spending.
