This is good...

...and both Clinton and Obama supported the renewables incentives.

Oh, you idealists ...

... couldn't we just throw another $500 billion down that rathole known as 'Iraq' and pretend that we're fiscal conservatives because we don't want to "waste money" on long-term investments that have broad social benefits like, oh, I dunno, renewable energy and public-transportation improvements??

Man.  I just don't understand the priorities of you so-called 'progressive' types ...
