An Agriculture Department economic-impact study of the climate bill has predicted that farmers would benefit by turning farm land into forests; however, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has figured out that those future farm profits would be the “result of the legislation's incentives to plant more forests and thus reduce the amount of land devoted to food-producing agriculture.”
Gee, sounds like higher consumer prices for foodstuffs, to me. At least we'll be able to starve in the shade of an oak or maple tree.

That economic impact sudy sounds like typical government static as opposed to dynamic scoring. It is nice to see that there was one person who awakened from their dogmatic slumber long enough to face reality. I give him until the first of the year, no more.
