Yesterday, Sen. Kerry and Sen. Lieberman introduced a new climate bill.
1) The bill contains a number of new taxes and job killing regulations. It can not be good for the economy. Don’t they know how concerned people are about their jobs and how close the economy already is to the edge?
2) So America is going to impose taxes on itself, and sacrifice jobs, to deal with climate change. Is it in order to ask what China and India are going to do? Are the Chinese going to continue building coal plants at a rate of one per week, while we pay huge extra costs for green energy? In 1997, the Senate voted UNANIMOUSLY not to pass legislation burdening the American economy in order to deal with climate change unless other countries were doing the same. Yet that is exactly what they are trying to do now. How does it help reduce greenhouse gases to ship our jobs overseas to countries that don’t care about the environment?
