Thank God winter is almost over. It has been another cold one. I hope Al Gore wore his hat and brought along his galoshes whenever he made an appearance against global warming....scientists have not been able to measure any increase in global warming since the end of 1998....Over the last two years temperatures have actually dropped by more than 0.5 degrees Celsius. Button up! I mention all this because (1) it is always amusing to kid Mr. Gore and (2) the price tag for Prophet Obama's climate plan has just jumped to $2 trillion. That is 3 times the White House's initial estimate for its cap-and-trade monstrosity. It is also a huge tax on corporations and consumers at a time when both are in recession....
Cap-and-trade has been tried in Europe by the signers of the Kyoto Protocol...."Nearly every European country participating has higher emissions today than when the treaty was first signed in 1992. ... emissions in many of these nations are actually rising faster than in the United States." Yet perhaps the Obama administration has its eye on something other than limiting emissions. Possibly it sees cap-and-trade as a great way to gain control of still more of the private sector....and punish those who fail to comply....Along with Cap-and-Trade, the Obama administration is calling for a sufficient number of these instrumentalities to socialism that by the next election the United States will be very close to being a socialist state. There is no point in Mr. Obama arguing against that observation. He ought simply to come out and say it. He is for socialism. What could possibly be wrong with that?

“Cap and trade” is intentionally designed to be a disaster. It has absolutely nothing to do with “the environment.” IT’S ALL ABOUT MONEY AND GREEDY COMMIE DEMOCRATS WHO WANT ALL OF IT. Period.
King Obama’s reign is moving closer and closer to total control. Think that is not possible. This move to communism has been going on with Federal control of so much of America that this just might be the nail in the coffin. The RAT party has communists tendencies of power and will not stop. The economy part is offering lots of camouflage over the behind the seems things that they are ramming through. Laws are easy for them to pass but will take many years to reverse.
Next election the United States will be very close to being a socialist state,No this last election did that.
