Cap and Trade is Capital Punishment for the US Economy

“I love America. That’s why it has to be destroyed.“

The quotation cited above comes from a liberal character in the 2008 satirical comedy “An American Carol.” David Zucker’s film skewered the American political left for its arrogance and its hypocrisy. Sadly, one can easily see President Obama or some member of his administration expressing a similar oxymoronic sentiment to explain its peculiar and destructive policies.

Obama seems intent upon destroying the American love affair with the automobile by crippling the auto industry and laying waste to the larger economy. If no one can afford to drive a car, it follows that fuel consumption will decline and pollution will decrease. It is almost reminiscent of an episode of the science fiction television series “Doctor Who” in which the misguided leaders of a radical environmental movement were exposed as dangerous and genocidal frauds. Their futuristic plan to save the planet from pollution in the television program turned out to be premised upon eradicating nine tenths of the world’s population. Fewer humans meant less pollution and more abundant resources for those interested in returning the Earth to a pristine Golden Age. That scenario was, of course, fiction. Obama’s plan is a nightmare reality.
