Only 13 GOP Senators Oppose "Global Warming" Silliness
Topics: Political News and commentaries13. Only 13.
We're talkin' THIRTEEN Republican Senators - only - voted in opposition to the Lieberman-Warner green boondoggle bill. They deserve sincere thanks for standing on principle and common sense.
As for the others, like Ragnar says, they indeed have some serious explaining to do.
The bill is a cap-and-tax energy scheme, a carbon-emissions rationing program, a new tax on businesses and consumers, a new big government central agency and new career opportunities for thousands of new lobbyists specializing in greenhouse gas regulations. It would result in annual reductions of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) ranging from $238 billion to $983 billion in 2030, and from roughly $1 trillion to more than $2.8 trillion in 2050; gasoline prices would increase by $0.53 per gallon in 2030 to $1.40 per gallon in 2050; and electricity prices are projected to increase 44 percent in 2030 and 26 percent in 2050.
Undisputedly, the Lieberman-Warner Cap-and-Trade Climate Control Bill is a looming disaster.
