What’s the Magic Word?
My latest post is up at AIP. The subject is cap and trade and what the real motivation is for such an unprecedented power grab.
Well, crud. I gave it away already.
The question I keep asking myself, though, is why? Why are the Democrats so determined to shove through a bill their own supporters admit would gutshoot the economy at its weakest moment in half a century? Why are they so certain that global warming will continue despite direct evidence that the planet isn’t warming right now? Why do they persist in pushing for alternative fuels that, even if they meet the Democrats’ predictions, won’t make up enough of our energy needs to fuel growth unless growth slows down considerably? Why are they trying to ram home a bill that, under the rosiest predictions, won’t even account for half a degree Celsius change in the temperature of the planet?
Have they lost their minds or is there something else they want?
As much as we’d like to think otherwise, the Democrats have not gone suddenly and irrevocably insane. IN fact, just the opposite is true. I’ve concluded that they do want something, and they’ve decided not is the time to get it.
What they want, quite simply, is power.
