Global Warming Policies Cool Minority Economic Engines

For someone once considered "our first black president," Bill Clinton seems to have particular disregard for the economic well-being of minorities when it comes to energy.

At a recent rally, the former Man from Hope said: "We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren."

Slowing down the economy won't hurt Clinton and Al Gore - his former vice president and self-appointed global warming czar - it will hurt lower-income families, especially minorities. With all the panic over indications the economy may already be slowing, why purposely make things worse?

I can't believe that politicians actually know all this crap about global warming will tank the economies of our country and probably half of the western world and still continue on their merry way.

The effect for the poorer and those in undeveloped countries will be more like a death sentence.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM THAT THEY CAN SEE THE DANGER AND YET KEEP TO THAT COURSE?

"We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren."

Sounds like Bill has his head in the clouds again.

In the Senate, the "America's Climate Security Act" (S. 2191), introduced by Senators Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and John Warner (R-VA), penalizes companies that emit greenhouse gases. Called a "cap-and-trade" program, it's basically a tax on fossil fuels.

That's not all. CRAI also estimates up to 3.4 millions jobs may disappear by 2020 if global warming regulations are enacted.

Sounds to me they want more businesses to close or move to other countries.

CRAI estimates the average American household living under S. 2191 will pay between $800 and $1,300 more per year to heat, cool and otherwise power their homes.

this would be over and above to huge tax increase the Dems want to place on all of us.
