Agreed. This is a waste of money. It will only help our cause. Cap n trade is popular only amongst a tiny sliver of people consisting largely of committed leftists, federal lobbyists, and wealthy urban liberal elites.
When looking at everything that is going on with our government, people should, on their own, make a list of every country that has or had, controlled their auto industry, controlled the financial industry, controlled the health industry, controlled the water ways, or any other industry in the country that should be controlled by the people. Then list all the countries that are considered the most free. You may not like what you find out. Hope I made myself clear here.
It’s also VERY popular with carbon credits opportunists like Al Gore and Goldman Sachs.
Not to mention the corrupt dictators of every third world dungheap on the planet, who will get to trade their credits (i.e., their country’s air) for French Riviera mansions and Bahrain bank accounts.
