American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 or how many jobs are going to be lost before the 'millions' are created.

I had the opportunity to run a textile screen printing company in southern California way back in 1990. I was hired initially to get the sales area reorganized, straighten out the accounts receivables and within weeks was given the additional title of general manager or hatchet man which was a more appropriate description of my duties. I bring this up because I had an intimate look at the operation of the company and it's relationship to the EPA in California. California had a system of credits that is similar to what the Obama people are going to put into place if the Senate passes Clean Energy and Security Act.

The company I managed revamped their operations because the codes were so restrictive that they decided it would be easier and far less costly to print with water based inks and not have to put up with all of the government regulation and endless inspections that were basically impossible to pass. As a result we employed about 125 people when we should have been staffed at around 250. At the same time businesses were leaving California as fast as their leases were up or they could sell their property. Much of that business went to Mexico by the way, American manufacturing jobs, skilled factory positions were lost permanently. This is going to be the same scenario, but now on a national scale. Oh yes there may be jobs created, down the road, and you may notice Mr. Obama, the maker of wild ass claims, won't even hint as to when these millions of jobs are going to start or what they will be.
