here’s no such thing as a state-created ‘green job’ that doesn’t illustrate Bastiat’s broken-window fallacy. Enduring job creation and economic growth are the result of a free market, not government intervention. When you hear a Democrat — or a liberal Republican — talk about environmental regulation resulting in job creation, grab your wallet and start looking at the help-wanted ads. A policy that doesn’t place jobs and economic growth first — not co-equal with environmentalism, but first — is a failure of leadership. -Chuck DeVore
