It turns out that President Obama much-exalted “green” jobs initiative is having a hard time getting off the ground in large part due to the federal government’s own extensive regime of regulatory red tape.

Seriously...how can anyone believe that government produces ANY jobs...other than the ones that are there to fill quotas...or make our life hell. Government PRODUCES NOTHING!

It takes and over regulates. It is an impediment......DUH!
