“Cap-and-trade has been a tainted term. The bills that exist today have not been able to gather moderate Democratic support, they have not been able to gather Republican support. The cap-and-trade system has been called cap-and-tax and I think for some good reasons. So what I have to convince Republicans of is that you know as well as I do this is the best way for us to create new jobs in the future, that you know the green economy is coming worldwide and the only way we are going to get there is to lead, not follow.”
That’s some logic!
I love how these idiots want to put burdens and restrictions on American business and industry and then wonder where all the jobs are going. Then these same idiots speak with certainty on how to create “new” jobs in the future...
“you know as well as I do this is the best way for us to create new jobs in the future...”
Lindsey - I have an idea. Get out of Washington, get out of our way, and get your hands off our wallets.
What job has this idiot ever created? I guess they have to destroy all the non-green Jobs on their way to these “feel good - hip” Green jobs. No thanks. I’ll keep my bill paying, family supporting, non-bailed out, non-green job.
