qanda to bbq julia this evening ..., page-79

Hi rav/cerhob .. "Julia gillard answered in a round about way, that, people would then use their extra money to purchase products from the cheaper, low energy, less polluting co.s (products) ??????"

This is subjective validation ... there is no evidence that tax-sheltered green products are/will be cheaper than carbon-based products even supposing a carbon tax.

IMHO ... Green products will only become more expensive to match carbon-taxed products = more profit for greenies. (Psst ... markets are efficient Julia).

Yes, the audience (and me) were stunned as our brains attempted to comprehend the statement.

Clearly, Julia thought this one up ... it has the same scattered logic as "hi honey, guess what? I just saved us $200 ... I got these fab $400 red shoes on sale for $200."


Cheers ... tight stops.
