CARB Part 2

One of the biggest so-called benefits of the CARB plan is the creation of jobs and industry. Let us all be crystal clear that this is a cost, not a benefit, of the CARB plan. Imagine if your wife told you she was implementing a plan to make life better in your household. She tells you further, that this plan entails employing an army of domestics and other household workers. And when she shows you her cost-benefit analysis you see that she counted the jobs she created as a benefit to you! Do you say: "Great, honey! The benefits outweigh the costs, lets do it!" Or do you say: "Honey! We can't afford all these people!" If you are the policy makers at CARB, you go with the former. If you are a sensible person you go with the latter.
It just seems so nuts that a government agency says: our regulations are so great that it will take thousands of workers and an entire industry to implement it and it will cost you nothing! But people keep buying this line.
