Ecolog:
What kind of economies are involved and what are the tradeoffs? This
administration seems to be a little cockeyed on a number of issues; they
seem to be continuing Bush era policies with great vigor, such as pursuing
the drug war, with added emphasis on marijuana, switchgrass and other
"biofuel" schemes, and who knows what else?
Anyone have facts and original sources/histories on these and other issues?
What is being spun and hidden?
