Hooray for Tom Friedman

Tom Friedman has been banging the green drum incessantly and wisely, and he does it particularly well today. Just thought I’d help him spread the word–and as we approach the New Year, I also hope that we can pass a stiff carbon tax in 2010 and use the funds to (a) reduce payroll taxes for the working poor and (b) give tax breaks to companies that create or switch to green technologies. You want to create jobs? This is the most promising area.
