Auto Makers and Pollution Burden

I read with interest the Feldsteins’ article. Well written, well argued, however, when boiled down it tells us this: “We must go ahead and kill ourselves with industrial pollution because it would be too expensive and too inconvenient to stay alive.”

Their economists’ approach pushed my doggerel button and this came out:

“When they speak of pollution and such, the Feldsteins are quite out of touch;

“Don’t bother to strive, too keep us alive, for living will cost us too much.”
