Sen. Chuck Schumer outlined a path Tuesday for Hillary Clinton to enact a carbon tax if the Democrats prevail in the 2016 elections.
Schumer said that a Clinton presidency and the return of his party to the Senate majority in 2017 could pave the way for lawmakers to enact a carbon tax to help fund the government.
The mere suggestion of a new fee on the emissions blamed for climate change, however, could become a political headache for Clinton and other Democrats, and it’s routinely dismissed by Republicans.
Schumer also vowed that Democrats would successfully defend President Barack Obama’s landmark climate change rules for power plants from GOP attacks, saying, “We will hold that — they’ll need 60 votes to change things, and we’re not going to let that happen.”

I'm starting to think the Dems don't want to win in 2016. When the SHTF, the Dems know they will have to take the blame after the 8 years of destruction by Obama. If a Republican is in office, re: GWB on 9/11, Big Media will naturally blame the Republican even though the framework for the fall of the late, great USA has taken years to construct. Pray for our country getting back on the right track.

Given some of the people who have shoveled money into the Clinton Foundation, I highly doubt it.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
But our nation does not.
A Clinton win means America is finished off.
Clinton => Coup de gras

So, the carbon tax has no chance? Or is it a done deal?
