They're changing this page as we're commenting on it. The stuff about tax credits wasn't there the last time I looked. They've also changed the wording about "requiring" certain numbers of hours.
They seem to be making this stuff up on the fly...
- tesseract 18y agoIf "making this stuff up on the fly" means "revising the policy proposals based on complaints from the public solicited via the Internet", then: bravo!
- ksvs 18y agoYeah, but it would be better if their first drafts showed a little more thought.
- tdavis 18y agoIteration can work for policy, too. Regardless, I think the take-away here is that people shouldn't write articles like this based off of vague intentions. What someone wants to do, what they think is a good idea now and what actually happens can all be very different things.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agothat's how progressives operate. their ideology doesn't hold up to close scrutiny so they get very good at dodging and weaving.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoyes! feel the hatred flow through you! strike this comment down and complete your training!
- rms 18y agoyou know perfectly well why you are being downmodded
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoI would think something is wrong with the system if all my comments were up voted. most other places my pro-capitalism anti-progressive votes get down voted a lot more than they do here.
- hugh 18y agoAnd if your comments were better thought out then they might even get upmodded. Generalizations of the form "Ohhh yeah, progressives always do X" aren't useful.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agogeneralizations are extremely useful and everyone uses them all the time. people just get a warm fuzzy feeling out of denying the few they are conscious of.
- brlewis 18y agoI'd sure like to see a statement about who's writing this stuff and how final it is. Still, it's a lot better than secreting the process away behind locked doors, the way our current energy policy was made.
- rms 18y agoThe tax credit has definitely been mentioned at barackobama.com for a while.
- tptacek 18y agoPromotional material on websites isn't policy. I'm sure the actual proposed legislation will give you plenty of ammunition to snipe with.
