The New York Times
reported yesterday that Senate Finance Committe Chairman Max
Baucus (D-Mont.) has "serious reservations" about the Kerry-Boxer
cap-and-trade bill. Baucus wants to to lower the bill's 2020
target for greenhouse gas emissions and has also wants to attach
pre-emption language to the bill that prevents the EPA from
implementing the Supreme Court's 2007 decision opening the door
to new greenhouse gas emission standards.
"We cannot avoid a first step that takes us further away from an
achievable consensus from common-sense climate change
legislation," the NYT quotes Baucus as saying. "We could
build that consensus here in this committee. If we don't, we risk
wasting another month, another year, another Congress, without
taking a step forward to our future."
Want to do something constructive... VOTE EM ALL OUT 2010/2012. I
just donated to Marko Rubio of Florida, Doug Hoffman of NY, and
David Harmer of California. "We the People" can win this if we
all take up the mantle against corruption and take back our
country. I will never send the GOP any money evuh again until or
when they return to conservative values....they just don't get
it!!! Duh! What part of you lost the last 2 elections does the
GOP NOT UNDERSTAND???

Baucus pulled his chin mightily over the health bill, then folded like an old stadium chair. This is posturing for the home folks -- nothing more!
