Regime Admits: Few Jobs in Green Energy

by Rush Limbaugh - Apr 5,2012

RUSH: Jared Bernstein is a former chief economist for Joe Biden. He was in Las Vegas yesterday at the American Action Forum panel discussion on the US housing recovery, lesson from Nevada. Jared Bernstein, he’s a member of the regime. That’s all you need to know.


BERNSTEIN: I was very active in the implementation of the Recovery Act, and one thing we found about clean energy was that you build a solar plant, you’re gonna hire a lot of people. You run a solar plant, it doesn’t take a ton of people to run some of these plants. Some of these firms don’t employ as many people as you might hope.

RUSH: They went in there and they spent billions of dollars and only after they realized there aren’t any jobs. The regime admits it. Jared Bernstein right there admitting. Takes a lot of jobs to build a solar plant, and then you go bankrupt ’cause there’s no business there. And the reason it doesn’t take a lot of employees to run the business after you build it is ’cause the business goes bankrupt. But we didn’t know that until after we got into it. He thinks he’s advancing a cause here. These people are so out of it. I doubt Mr. Bernstein understands how he has undercut Obama here. Jared Bernstein wrote Obama’s stimulus bill. That’s the guy you just heard. He wrote the stimulus bill. Play this bite again. This is the author of Obama’s Porkulus bill.

BERNSTEIN: I was very active in the implementation of the Recovery Act, and one thing we found about clean energy was that you build a solar plant, you’re gonna hire a lot of people. You run a solar plant, it doesn’t take a ton of people to run some of these plants. Some of these firms don’t employ as many people as you might hope.

RUSH: One thing we found out about clean energy. One thing you found out? When? When they went bankrupt. Of course you don’t need a whole lot of employees for a bankrupt solar plant. You don’t need much of anything, except the money somehow finding its way back to Obama. That’s about all you need to do and then you’re cool.
