THE cap-and-trade bill. Madoff has a new plan.
DOA in the Senate. Got same votes as Al Gore’s BTU tax in the house in 1993.

I’m making a bumper sticker, hope you don’t mind.
That's a great line - and damned near true.
Look: I did a little research on the subject and here's some of what I found:
What percentage of the earth's atmosphere is composed of Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
Any ideas? Curious? (scroll down)

Answer = 0.038%.
That's not a misprint. The Earth's atmosphere is composed of 78.08% Nitrogen, 20.95% Oxygen, 0-4% water vapor, depending on location, less than 1% Argon, and 0.038% carbon dioxide.
That's not all, however. Here's another question for you:
What percentage of carbon dioxide is introduced into the atmosphere as a product of man-made activity? I won't make you scroll this time:
A: Approximately 3.0%.
So, in essence, what we are talking about with "Cap and Trade" is a proposal that will cost trillions of dollars and millions of jobs, permanently reducing our standard of living and restricting personal freedom....
...in order to reduce a gas whose man-caused component represents 0.00114% of the atmosphere.
Oh, by the way: the goal is to reduce man-made CO2 by a whopping 0.05% - so, in sum:
We're about to destroy the American economy and our standard of living in order to affect 0.00000057% of the atmosphere.
Sounds like a really smart plan, huh? Are we out of our minds?
