Rapid economic recovery is not supposed to happen. We’re all going to me made beggars, because they’re easier to please. Look at what happened during Depression 1. More taxes and regulations kept recovery in employment from happening. You put fear into those who have jobs and throw some bones at those who don’t. I don’t like that plan. A free and independent people can’t be stampeded. Unlike now.
If, in one hundred years, a free society exists somewhere on this planet, they will be studying our recent actions and will be shaking their heads in bewilderment.
The problem is that capping emissions based on dubious climate science will also kill hopes for a rapid economic recovery. Any good that comes from the stimulus package will be wiped out by this energy tax that will be passed on to every consumer through everything we produce and consume. Money that could be spent on creating jobs will be wasted trying to save the polar bear.
