The stupidity of the Cap and Trade tax


The worst part about Cleaver voting FOR the Cap and Trade bill is how he played "follow the leader" instead of LEARNING something about what he was voting on. OK, sure, it might have been nice if he'd first READ the bill, too, but what the hell; NOBODY did that.

If Congressman Cleaver had bothered to research the science involved he might have noticed that this multi-billion-dollar TAX bill is projected to lower global temperatures by a few HUNDREDTHS of a degree (that's several BILLION dollars per hundredth, Congressman). And even THAT science is on shaky ground.

Unless you get all your news from the big-three national media outlets you've noticed that global temps are COOLING. How can this be? Are we already emitting less greenhouse gasses? NO. The sun is emitting less radiation. If you look at a chart of sun spot activity you'll see a steady INCREASE beginning in 1700 through 2000. Yep. There's your "global warming." Right now the earth is experiencing a Solar Minimum and has already cooled beyond the 1800 temps.

But no matter. The government NEEDS more money and politicians know how to get it. "We must act NOW or all will be lost!" they scream. "But wait! There's MORE! NOW how much would you pay?"

I don't think so.
