Pelosi's Wish List Passes the House

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Uh, Except Nancy Pelosi’s Envirosocialist Amazon Wishlist Doesn’t Even Exist!

That Clean Energy and Security Act that Congress was so sure it passed yesterday? Nice try commies, it’s basically still in galley form! The Examiner’s SCOOP reveals there’s a 300 page “manager’s amendment” that hasn’t been edited into the official 1,090 page copy of the bill, which all members of Congress have read and would be 100% prepared to answer essay questions about, provided they know the essay topic beforehand and can use their notes.

Anyway, the Corner finds this all very typical, of hippies. And also asks, sagely: what is the hurry anyway? Right, it’s like, where’s the fire, you guys? Besides California and most rain forests and at this point probably the Arctic? Ha ha. If Democrats cared about the environment so much there’s no way they would be spending 1300+ sheets of paper to say so.

Oh and apparently the manager’s amendment includes funding for green job training for low-income workers and provisions to make sure that working class communities aren’t penalized financially for the pollution of big businesses—all ideas originally outlined in the Marx-Ayers Reader.

For shame.

Polar bear populations have doubled in the last 40 years. But math isn't in the repertoire of the left.

They don't even read the bills they vote on anymore, and Obama's promise to post them before they are voted on was a lie. People need to wise up, cos our goverment is being stolen from us with our permission.

Sen. Reid says it will be the fall before the senate takes it up. I very much doubt that it will pass given the fact that the house switchboards were swamped with people calling against the bill. We have a few months to educate the people on how bad of a bill this is. Remember, election time for congress is coming up next year. To pass the biggest tax hike in history on the middle and lower class in the middle of a bad recession will not play well with the voters.

It's a shame our economic policy makers know absolutely nothing about economics.

Do you really believe they care what will not play well, they passed the biggest stimulus package in history, some say more than all the other presidents combined in past history and DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER to take the time to read it.

They will when they start to run for re-election and their opposition starts hammering them on it. When the porkulus bill was passed everyone was in panic mode. That is the only reason it passed.

Wow, Nancy looks pretty lonely out there all by herself.
