Sounds like an easy way to cut CO2 emissions by 50%, to save the Erf, and the children, and polar bears, etc.

Are they committed and down for the struggle, or not?

Sure. Why not? We are all going to die in 12 year so it won’t make any difference.

Funny also how he expects those being heavily taxed to pony up the 10 more trillion dollars from ‘private industry.’

Since you suppress 3 trillion in economic development for every trillion you tax, he’ll likely have to figure out where an additional 2 trillion will come from... OH, look, there’s people making a profit. Just take two trillion from that, making a 3 trillion fund...and, damn it, the economy dropped another 6 trillion dollars. Well, that’s okay, just raise the taxes a bit more to reenergize the fund with another 4 trillion more...

Fiddlesticks...we’ve run out of other people’s money. That means fully funding it with a government program that’s $11 trillion dollars... and collapse the entire GNP. Start those presses rolling out more dineros, ‘cause that always works and you have yet again the economic collapse of a socialist state.

For global warming, where the entire country’s carbon footprint is dwarfed by fires in timber that could have been harvested but instead is ‘protected’ in neat little matchbook rows to burn better. Oh, and there goes another volcano... But we saved the spotted owl until their forest burnt to the ground.

And we can be sure that all who lunch (i.e. get research grants) at the Trillion Dollar Trough will be completely objective about Global Warming (or whatever they're calling it now).

Anyone remember with the Asbestos lawsuits cost the USA?
I think the total cost was $64B, most of which went to the Lawyers.
This is going to make that slush fund look like a cheap date with a $10 hooker.

Hadn't you heard?

"Trillion's the new billion."
revelers

People don't stop to realize what a Brogdingnagian
number a trillion is.

It's one million millions. Yet we're tossing the figure
around like New Year's revelers of 1929. It's unnerving.

"Trillion's the new thousand" says "buy gold."

“”You cannot put in a set of policies for two years and have them ripped out for another two years,””

Sure you can. That’s exactly what they want to do when Trump leaves office.

It angers me that people in our country go hungry every single day and night

STOP repeating left-wing cr@p here. No one goes hungry in the United States unless they want to. Ever hear of Food Stamps (or whatever less obvious name they call food stamps now)? In 1948 (1948 !) JFK, when he was running for reelection to Congress, campaigned for universal heathcare beginning his pitch with, "Now that we have conquered hunger in America ..." (and there were no food stamps then!)

I love that adjective, Brogdingnagian.

I have to point out that in the US, a billion is a thousand millions, while a trillion is a million millions.

In the UK, a billion is indeed a million millions, as you say.

In powers of 10:
- Million = 10^6
- US Billion = 10^3*10^6 = 10^9
- UK Billion = US Trillion, = 10^12

Burn the money. At least it’ll give some heat.
