Nope. The ems are pushing a ridiculous piece of crap here. It’s a nuclear reactor designed over a weekend, built by skateboard mechanics. No need to review this POS—there’s no way it’s a good system. It is simply not possible to do this MASSIVE OVERHAUL OF ONE SEVENTH OF THE WORLDS LARGEST ECONOMY IN LITERAL LIFE AND DEATH TERMS in the scant time we’ve given it. And the only reason we didn’t already vote on the damned thing is the laudable obstruction of the opposition party.
If “First, Do No Harm” is a worthy dictate, then sometimes obstruction is the highest fulfillment of one’s duty.
Pat Caddell has speculated that it is more than curious that a 1,250 page Bill with incredible detail was found on the shelf. No one in Congress professes to be the actual author. Likewise Cap and Trade. He suspects that these and other Bills in the wings are the product of far left special interest groups.
