Climate and Jobs

It drives me crazy hearing the candidates talk about "green" jobs as such a wonderful thing. The fact is there are some jobs that are only necessary because of the government. These jobs don't actually produce anything. In this category is an IRS auditor. They are necessary to make sure that people are compliant with the governments various tax laws but they don't actually produce anything in a sense that they create wealth. Green jobs would be very similar. Most of them would probably be cushy government jobs where when they get bored they go out and hassle someone who is creating wealth because in the process of creating that wealth they didn't completely separate their garbage into the appropriate bins.
