Senate Democrats Push Forward With Climate [Hoax] Bill Despite Full Plate - Political News - FOXNews.com
Senate Democrats on Wednesday introduced a sweeping bill aimed at combating climate change, pushing forward with President Obama's call to tackle global warming even though Congress is waist-deep in debate over health care reform.
...
"This is our time. Global warming is our challenge. Economic recovery is our challenge," said Boxer, chairwoman of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, linking the climate legislation to economic growth.
...
An overview of the bill says it would only apply to the nation's largest polluters and leave out about 98 percent of U.S. businesses, including farmers.
...
But House Republican Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, condemned the package as a "national energy tax," citing estimates that the changes could cost families hundreds of dollars through increased energy costs.

"Instead of coming to their senses and scrapping this dangerous proposal, Democrats are pressing ahead, proving once again that they just don't get it," Boehner said in a statement.
1. If this bill is so freaking important, why does it rank behind health care?

2. If this bill is really about global warming, why isn't the phrase "global warming" in its name ["The Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act"]?

3. If you're really trying to save our kids from roasting in CO2-induced hellfire, why are you leaving out 98 percent of US businesses, including farmers?
