04/07/09 How every "green job" kills 2.2 other jobs.. Stunning study from Spain reveals how deadly the subsidized shift to "low carbon" jobs has been to the nation's economy. If U.S. subsidies to renewable producers achieve the same result -- and President Obama has held Spain up as a model for how to subsidize renewables -- the U.S. could lose 6.6 million to 11 million jobs while it creates three million largely temporary “green jobs," the study predicts.
The study was prepared under the direction of Dr. Gabriel Calzada, an economics professor at Juan Carlos University in Madrid.
The study calculated that, since 2000, Spain spent $774,000 to create each “green job”, including subsidies of more than $1.3 million per wind industry job. It found that creating those jobs resulted in the destruction of nearly 113,000 jobs elsewhere in the economy, or 2.2 jobs destroyed for every “green job” created. Principally, jobs were lost in the fields of metallurgy, non-metallic mining and food processing, beverage and tobacco.
“The loss of jobs could be greater if you account for the amount of lost industry that moves out of the country due to higher energy prices,” Dr., Calzada said recently in an interview with Bloomberg News.
Ironically, as noted recently by the Institute for Energy Research, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has calculated that Spain’s annual emissions of carbon dioxide have increased by nearly 50 percent since the launch of the subsidized "green jobs" program.

'Climate Change' Plan Would Likely Shift Trillions to Form New World Economy A United Nations document on "climate change" that will be distributed to a major environmental conclave next week envisions a huge reordering of the world economy, likely involving trillions of dollars in wealth transfer, millions of job losses and gains, new taxes, industrial relocations, new tariffs and subsidies, and complicated payments for greenhouse gas abatement schemes and carbon taxes - all under the supervision of the world body.

09/22/08 THE ECONOMY
How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis by Kevin Hassett, director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. If a serious 2005 Fannie and Freddie reform bill passed by the Senate Banking Committee had become law, then the world today would be different. The bill would have created a "world class regulator" to oversee the pair more like banks, strictly limiting their ability to take the excessive risks that brought them down. But the bill didn't become law for a simple reason: Democrats opposed it in party-line ranks and the Senate never got to vote on the matter.
