A Quote by William J. Clinton

It's only in America where there seems to be this sort of systematic denial of the reality of global warming at the governmental level, and in too many sectors of the high, the private sector. But it looks to me the business community may actually lead us toward a clean energy future almost in spite of government policy.

If you look at the fact that the best chance we have for a good economy is the private sector. The government cannot create jobs.
