Obama’s Bill To Combat Global Warming In Jeopardy


Eight Democrats May Not Support “Cap and Trade”

WASHINGTON — Eight Senate Democrats are opposing speedy action on President Barack Obama’s bill to combat global warming, complicating prospects for the legislation and creating problems for their party’s leaders.

Time to rebel against the global warming fanatics.

Time to rebel against the global warming fanatics.

The eight Democrats disapprove of using the annual budget debate to pass Obama’s “cap and trade” bill to fight greenhouse gas emissions, a measure that divides lawmakers, environmentalists and businesses. The lawmakers’ opposition makes it more difficult for Democratic leaders to move the bill without a threat of a Republican filibuster.

The budget debate is the only way to circumvent Senate rules that allow a unified GOP to stop a bill through filibusters.

“Enactment of a cap-and-trade regime is likely to influence nearly every feature of the U.S. economy,” wrote the Democratic senators, mostly moderates. They were joined by 25 Republicans. “Legislation so far-reaching should be fully vetted and given appropriate time for debate.”

It takes 60 votes to overcome a filibuster in the Senate, but Democrats and allied independents currently control 58 seats.

Under a cap and trade system, the government would auction off permits to emit greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. The auctions would raise almost $650 billion over the next decade, with the cost passed on to consumers as higher energy prices.  (Read more.)

"Cap and trade" will further destroy the economy...but that's what Obama is hoping for.

B.S. Report–As usual, the Senate is seeking ways to circumvent their own rules rather than putting their bill through the scrutiny of a prolonged and intense debate.  But most of the Democrat-dominated Senate prefers to ramrod a bill into law that would drastically change the economy of the country.

These people are not interested in the welfare of the nation.  They are not statesmen and they are not patriots.  They are not interested in the opinions of the populace who likely largely oppose this measure.  They look at themselves as dictators whose role it is to impose their will on the rest of us.  They must be stopped.
