The statement of belief made in September is the real opinion of this socialist. The current opinion is just a lie like all of the other ‘for public consumption’ horseshit Zer0’s administration is squeezing out.

This is part of what makes "cap and trade" so attractive for politicians. It allows them to force energy companies to raise prices, which the government will then take, yet allows the blame to fall squarely on the energy companies, since they're the ones actually charging the higher rates, as well as the energy consumers ("If you weren't using so much energy, the costs would be lower.")

Plus, it allows those pushing for "cap and trade" to invest in what may be the most lucrative scam of "skimming off the top" since the mob sold off their last Las Vegas casino.

This Chu guy has to be the dumbest moron in this entire administration... and that's saying a lot.

Perhaps someone should remind the libs of what happened when gas was $4 a gallon... yes, the very same gas whose taxes pay for their money hog mass transit systems. What happened? People simply drove less, or bought more fuel efficient vehicles. The price of gas came down and with it, all the extra gas tax revenue.

Of course they are probably one step ahead of us in that they'll simply raise some other tax to pour into mass transit. But to be fair, I do think urban mass transit is a good thing. It is just run very poorly and inefficiently.

One of the most bizarre arguments of the left is that “it doesn’t make sense right now.” The argument appears on tax increases, cap-and-trade, health care, gas taxes, etc. Here is my question: Isn’t that argument admitting that these policies are damaging to the economy? And if one admits that, why would I ever want to make these changes regardless of the state of the economy? (The answer is, of course, that doing economic damage is the point. The sheeple will accept it better when times are “good.”)
