U.S. Leaves the Markets Out in the Fight Against Carbon Emissions
Even though a trade in permits helped reduce sulfur dioxide pollution, at a lower cost than with other methods, lawmakers have resisted using them against carbon emissions.The world must quickly give up fossil carbon.
It must be left in the ground.
No cap and trade market will accomplish the necessary austerity.
I cannot impose the necessary pain on myself or force it on others.

The Economy’s Missing Metrics
Statistics guide policy and move markets — which is why they should measure what really matters.An old saw:
"Figures don't lie but liars figure."
I will not "make the perfect the enemy of the good".
Government statistics measure the economy we had when F.D.R. asked the questions.
That economy is doing badly.
The statistics also measure the whole economy.
The whole economy looks to be doing better.
90% of the population knows they are not doing well.
10% know they are not doing badly.
0.1% are doing wonderfully.
I would like to be in the pitchfork and torch business.
I don't expect if I were in that business I would get to keep my profits.
The population is about 300,000,000
90% of 300,000,000 is 270,000,000
10% is 30,000,000. More than the population of the New York metropolitan area.
0.1% is 300,000 Still a big number.
