And immigration? You know India would make some demands there.
Power plant emissions regulations increase utility bills, which disproportionately affects poor people. Rich people pay a very small portion of their income in utility payments, poor people can be ruined by them.
Money is fungible. So we don’t have to force the poor into Hobson’s choice between buying food for their kids or protecting their kids’ health through safer energy. The expense can be made up from money from elsewhere. The financial burden placed on families by individual governmental policies isn’t unimportant by any means, you want to make sure the ends justify the means, but in the end the really important thing is the overall burden and benefits of all policies.
I don’t see why not. Indian immigrants generally tend to be professionals and small businessmen, the sort of people America needs.
Care to respond to my post #40, in which I show that your prediction of a “lost decade” if Obama is re-elected conflicts with professional, non-partisan economists?
There are few signs of it currently as far as I can tell-in particular job growth numbers remain sluggish while the debt is crushing. And things can easily go worse depending on what goes on in Europe.
You seriously think you know enough about the economy to stand toe-to-toe with nonpartisan economists and argue that they are wrong?
No, that’s why these are predictions-a hunch really. I’d be glad if even one or two of my predictions are correct.
You might want to rephrase that, because it sounds as if you would be happy if the country did bad.
Oh sorry, I meant I’d be glad at my accuracy only.
