Here’s an excellent New Geography blogpost by
Peter Peterson of Common Sense California on the fiasco of a “green
jobs” program in Australia. A $1,600 credit for installing insulation
has led to numerous scams and even deaths of workmen. Pete Peterson of
quotes The Australian’s Janet Albrechtsen, “Here is a textbook lesson
in what happens when government throws money at industries they don't
understand and have no business being in. In short, we are learning
that the bigger the government, the bigger the problems.”
