Hahahahahahahahaha!
Let's talk environmental policy. Environmental corporate externalities, e.g. pollution, are bourne by society as a whole. By other people's children. In other neighborhoods. Even in other countries. Too bad The Right doesn't include that in it's cost structure, even though it can be quanitfied. The lowered regulatory standards under Bush externalize a HUGE cost. A cost that will have to be paid for when the externalities eventually visibly and horribly materialize via cancer, lung disease and clean-up costs.
But cancer isn't money, so this cost isn't included. And increased environmental standards hinder economic growth, right? Who gives a shit if my kid or your kid pays for it later when he gets lukemia when growth increased by 7% instead of 5% b/c the utility pollution regulations were relaxed.
