Politicians are such easy targets

but it's their own fault. (Or is it ours?) Bryan Caplan with a good find:

Another debate gem: Hillary on energy policy.

CLINTON: ...But this issue of energy and global warming has the promise of creating millions of new jobs in America... So it can be a win-win, if we do it right.
It's hard to interpret this charitably. Hillary really seems to believe that the diverting of millions of people to a new task is a free lunch. Has she never read Bastiat?

Sorry, stupid question.

Yeah, its definitely our fault. Hilary can be called many things, but she's certainly not stupid.

I agree. So was this pandering or just a slip?

Her objective function is the binary "get elected".
