Green is Good Business

I can't stand when George Bush says he isn't going to do something that could help the environment because it could be bad for American business. This is such a ludicrous concept.

Why would a push for greener technologies not be great for the U.S. economy? We have some of the most innovative and ingenious people in the world here. If an individual or company in the U.S. invents some technology that helps clean the planet, they are going to be making money hand over fist. Sure businesses in our country will have to buy the new technology. But that money would go right back into another U.S. company.

If these new technologies are developed overseas, then that's where are money will go. Increasing the trade deficit. That doesn't sound very good for the economy.

Of course, George Bush will argue that he won't require U.S. companies to purchase these new technologies. Well, that's just great, George. Why don't you push off the hard stuff for future generations. Just like when you don't raise taxes, but increase the deficit, instead. Talk about ingenious.
