The twisting world of the Left.
Yes, global warming causes more severe winters. And if we spend more money, we'll balance the budget.
That illustrates their insanity fairly well. Imagine if you will, a civilization that has decided they are catastrophically warming their planet by some of their activities. They decide they must drastically halt those activities. One problem. Observations have shown that the planet has not warmed in the past 15 years. And this winter appears to be one for the record books.
No problem, the civilization determines that the cooling or lack of warming is actually being cause by the warming. So they continue to drastically change their activities. But the world seems to not be warming anymore at all. In fact it appears to be getting very cold.
No problem, the civilization determines that the drastic cooling is just a sign of the drastic warming. They continue to change their activities. Now almost all of their economic output has been destroyed. But the cold continues. The past year saw no summer. Winter lasts until the end of April.
Soon the civilization will be dead simply because it could not admit it had made a drastic mistake.
And in other words, soon the government will collapse simply because it could not admit it had made a drastic mistake by spending too much money.
