Senate Panel Mulls a Federal Green Jobs Program

Armey, now chairman of FreedomWorks, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that promotes lower taxes, less government and economic freedom, said, “At best, the very best there would be no net reduction [in jobs] from environmental regulation, but even within that context there would be  reallocation of jobs between the private and public sector.”

“I would argue that no freedom-loving individual would rejoice in seeing jobs shift from the private sector, where freedom reigns, to the public sector, which is under regulation and mandates control everything,” Armey told Sanders.
