But you can accept that a great deal of this is nonsense and demagoguery, no? For example, I saw this the other day as a "reason" why the Keystone XL is "bad for the economy": Unemployment will rise: According to Mark Zandi, the Chief Economist of Moody’s Analytics: “Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on the job market in November, slicing an estimated 86,000 jobs from payrolls.” In the wake of Hurricane Irene, the number of workers filing unemployment claims in Vermont went from 731 before Irene to 1,331 two weeks afterwards. Hurricane Katrina wiped out 129,000 jobs in the New Orleans region “” nearly 20 percent. For the U.S. economy as a whole, 2011 cost US taxpayers $52 billion. You really have to admit this is an absurd analysis, even coming from Zandi (who is known for ridiculous nonsense). From a supporter of the Broken Window theory, even. How the hell does that even make sense? Yet, somehow, he's tied the XL into climate change (I guess) then to the economy. It is a huge stretch, yet it rolls right off liberal tongues. We got Obamacare in large part because of the successful disinformation campaign waged by the Left. And the day after it was signed into law, all those concerns were out the window and preserving the legislation became the objective rather than better health care being the objective. We really don't need to continue down this road. If the Left wants to ignorantly take this path again I think you're going to find it a much tougher direct than before because the American people were badly fucked over on Obamacare. They're not going to sit still for having some anti global warming nonsense rammed down their throats. I don't think they will, anyway.
