Folks, ‘climate change’ means big money for certain interests. It’s the new ‘green’ technology, but bogus as a three dollar bill. We are at the point now where dissenting opinions notwithstanding, Obamanation is going to entice the Democratic controlled congress to carry us down another road of no return. First the bank bailouts, then the insurance bailouts, then the securities bailouts, then the auto bailouts (coming soon) and now on top of the taxes we will be seeing for nationalized health care, we got to pay for passing gas (see my upcoming article if you don’t believe me). Of course though, what difference does it make to the fat cats in Congress who already are millionaires? This cap and trade will be ‘consumer hostile’ legislation where the costs will be born by you and I.
The Environmental Protection Agency concluded Friday that greenhouse gases linked to climate change “endanger public health and welfare,” setting the stage for regulating ‘greenhouse gases’ under federal clean air laws. This EPA action marks the first step toward imposing limits on pollution linked to climate change, which would mean tighter rules for cars and power plants. Agency officials cautioned such regulations are expected to be part of a lengthy process and not issued anytime soon.
Hogwash, Obama is trying to cram everything he can into the agenda sent to the Congress so he is sort of shooting for the moon and hoping to catch a ride on a meteor before he crashes and burns. He has already told congress: “Send me legislation that places market based cap on carbon pollution.”
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., whose Environment and Public Works Committee is considering climate legislation, said the EPA finding—stalled by the Bush administration—is long overdue but that “the best and most flexible way” to deal with the problem is for Congress to take action on a broader approach.
In other words folks, Congressmen are serious about us sending them to Washington to lead, though apparently it does not matter if the path ‘leads’ over a cliff. ‘Broaden’ the brush strokes, grab onto every possibility. Make it so huge that the frazzled taxpayers will be bedazzled when they ‘cut’ down the proposed a mite such that the Congress will seem like veritable fiscal conservative geniuses.
