"Not One Dime to the Government": Jim Hansen proposes a magical new federal climate change hoax bureaucracy that can function on a budget of 9 cents or less?
Fee: Collected at Domestic Mine/Port of Entry Covers all Oil, Gas, Coal ->No Leakage Dividend: Equal Shares to All Legal Residents Not One Dime to the Government.
TAXPAYERS will fork out $90 million a year to keep more than 400 public servants employed within the federal Climate Change Department - despite most now having nothing to do until 2013.
More than 60 of them are classified as senior executive staff on salaries between $168,000 and $298,000 a year. Their salary bill alone will cost an estimated $12 million every year.
A further $8 million will also be paid in rent for plush offices at Canberra's Constitution Place until 2012, where it is believed 500 new computers will be delivered this week.
Documents released to the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance under Freedom of Information laws revealed that bureaucrats in the Department of Climate change flew 6,528,616km last financial year, costing us a staggering $3,274,286.40!
the department is now set to buy ten high-end bar fridges as part of a luxury white-goods splurge with our money! Their shopping list even includes a 40 bottle top-of-the-line wine cabinet “with a glass and stainless steel front”. This is all part of the new Department of Climate Change complex, which, “with a yearly rent of $6.4 million, offers 738 public servants luxury digs over seven floors, with space of 16sq m per person and two kitchenettes on each level.”
I have another suggestion. The only way to reduce energy use is to make prices skyrocket with a new 'fee'. Equal participation by all provides for social justice.
Fee: Collected at point of purchase from CO2 emitters, otherwise known as customers. Applies to gasoline, heating oil, nat gas, propane, coal, wood pellets, electricity, any fossil-fuel-precursor content of products.
Dividend: Used to pay down federal debt. No diversions allowed.
This is based on settled science, so: Not One More Dime for NASA GISS!
Ah, Hansen, the Renaissance intellectual.
