Wow... okay then,
He has put very little into green jobs and most into research, which has sparked competition, and one of the top 25 growing industries in America in the research field alone. As well, green technology overall has more industries in the top 100 growing industries in America, more than any other overall industry. World wide, it's also one of the fastest growing industries, I believe it's in Spain that a major part of the GDP is made up of green train technology.
Before Obama was even president, green jobs 'almost' equaled fossil fuel jobs in America, a few 100k jobs between them, I don't know where it's at today.
Green has been growing for 30-40 years... it didn't start with Obama.
Well, clearly it is a priory for him when he's putting out fast action projects related to the job markets, which don't require congressional approval. I'm not exactly sure what you expect him to do to make the economy add jobs, you don't want him to invest in green, but you expect some magic industry and jobs to appear out of thin air.
Sorry buddy, when corps are making record profits and have record amounts in liquid assets, with the demand they have already, so they don't need more staff, and actually downsize and make even more profits, because that's what technology does... nothing is going to make them hire, unless 'they choose' to do it.
Our only option here is to either let companies in china come in or force us to follow a technology path that will spark worldwide growth again, much like the Internet did. And btw, the Gov fully funded that, from research to infrastructure, even the upgrades in bw, fully funded by the fed - and I don't hear you bitching about this monster that makes us all a ton of money!
Not everything they do is bad.. and embracing a new technology, is truly the only way to save our asses.
Unless you have some other ideas we should all know about?
