McCain and Climate Change: Sci-Fi as Policy

Holtz-Eakin

What kind of man has a hyphenated last name anyway, and why would John McCain or any Republican have him anywhere near his campaign?

Limiting eco damage is bad for economy?

Only a moron or a Republican would think like that.

Does washing one's hands, brushing one's teeth, visiting a gym, taking a shower, and playing with your kids ruin your earning potential. After all, grooming and healthful activities take time and, at least in America, time is money.

If this economy would suffer from application of healthy habits and cleanliness

maybe it's not a kind of ecoomy that deserves to exist. Indeed,

much of what this counry does is B.S. activities: money shuffling, lawsuits, marketing, advertising, speculation, and playing with electronic tchotchkes (made in China and Korea). Some economy!
