Ace of Spades HQ on the House climate swindle bill

The biggest doozy in the CBO analysis was its extraordinary decision to look only at the day-to-day costs of operating a trading program, rather than the wider consequences energy restriction would have on the economy.

In other words, the "costs" examined are merely the costs of salaries and phones and computers and Post-Its for the people administering this program -- the actual costs just to hire bureaucrats to sabotage the American economy.

Not the costs those bureaucrats in turn inflict on us all.

Don Surber writes,

The cap and trade bill is junk steroids — superstition. The climate of the Earth is determined by the Sun, not by the mumbo-jumbo gobbledygook thinking and jibberish of James Hansen, Al Gore and Daryl Hannah.

The Democratic Party has used global warming hysteria to slap the largest tax in history on the American economy.

It is crushing.

Vodkapundit sums it up:

Never have so few stolen so much from so many to achieve so little.
