U.S. House Democrats, oblivious to science, economics, and ethics, have unveiled a new climate change bill: a cap and trade program to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050. So here are some of the plans to date:

  • Obama: 83% reduction by 2050
  • House Democrats: 80% reduction by 2050
  • Warner-Liberman bill (which got shot down in the Senate): 71% by 2050
  • McCain?s bill: 66% reduction by 2050

From these numbers, Obama would destroy the economy more than the
House Democrats, and both would destroy the economy more than McCain.
All of them though apparently all agree that the economy must be
destroyed?nobody can honestly say that McCain doesn?t cross the aisle
and work with Democrats.

The new proposal comes during this financial crisis. Showing once
again that the House Democrats won?t allow anything to get in the way
of appeasing the environmental extremist/anti-poor special interests.

Not surprising, the anti-poor, ?environment? groups feel the House
Democrat bill doesn?t go far enough?apparently, the economy must be
destroyed and then shot several times just in case it could still be
alive. They don?t want some hand (especially if it is invisible) to
rise from the grave.
