In passing the president's budget "blueprint," Congress stripped out the cap-and-trade proposal for separate consideration. If you don't know what cap-and-trade is, see my earlier blog "How to End the Energy Crisis" from Feb. 28, 2009. Short explanation: it will turn the USA into a banana republic, without the bananas.
Anyway, Congress put cap-and-trade on a back-burner. The chances of actually implementing this program looked (thankfully) pretty slim.
So on Friday, April 17, 2009, the EPA comes out with a news release claiming that since Congress isn't going to do cap-and-trade, they will, by diktat if necessary. Just like every damn fascist bureau in all of human history. And just bet, they're only following orders.
Here are the relevant sections of the release:
EPA Finds Greenhouse Gases Pose Threat to Public Health, Welfare / Proposed Finding Comes in Response to 2007 Supreme Court Ruling

(Washington, D.C. – April 17, 2009) After a thorough scientific review ordered in 2007 by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a proposed finding Friday that greenhouse gases contribute to air pollution that may endanger public health or welfare.
The proposed finding, which now moves to a public comment period, identified six greenhouse gases that pose a potential threat.
“This finding confirms that greenhouse gas pollution is a serious problem now and for future generations. Fortunately, it follows President Obama’s call for a low carbon economy and strong leadership in Congress on clean energy and climate legislation,” said Administrator Lisa P. Jackson.
“This pollution problem has a solution – one that will create millions of green jobs and end our country’s dependence on foreign oil.”
As the proposed endangerment finding states, “In both magnitude and probability, climate change is an enormous problem. The greenhouse gases that are responsible for it endanger public health and welfare within the meaning of the Clean Air Act.” .... [omitting all the b.s. here about how the fate of the world is hanging by a thread due to cow farts...]
....The proposed endangerment finding now enters the public comment period, which is the next step in the deliberative process EPA must undertake before issuing final findings. Today’s proposed finding does not include any proposed
regulations. Before taking any steps to reduce greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, EPA would conduct an appropriate process and consider stakeholder input. Notwithstanding this required regulatory process, both President Obama and Administrator Jackson have repeatedly indicated their preference for comprehensive legislation to address this issue and create the framework for a clean energy economy.

What this means is that Obama found a big loophole in the government structure and he's going to exploit it.
What that means is that Obama is going to shove cap-and-trade down our throats, whether we want it or not, and whether or not our elected representatives in Congress even agree that it's necessary or desirable, which it certainly is not -- and even with or without their consideration and votes.
Can you even imagine the arrogance required to force all this bullshit on the American public, when it's clearly something they don't want.... When it's clearly so potentially detrimental to the nation that even Congress won't act on it?
This is stunning. This is even better than the Reichstag Fire.
You found a way to kill us all and put an end to the republic! Aren't you proud and happy, you sons of bitches?
What in the hell is Obama and the administration thinking? Are they thinking? Or are they just programmed automatons, knee-jerk radical leftists hellbent on wrecking the United States? What is Obama, some kind of Manchurian Candidate? Some people have told me that -- he's just an affable front-man and a stooge for some grander puppeteer. Not sure I believe it -- I don't give the leftist radicals credit for that much brains -- and it doesn't matter anyway.
Mr. Obama and apparently many of those who support him (or pull his strings, whichever explanation you prefer) simply hate America, hate the whole concept of individual rights and political liberty, and are wholly committed to ruining the greatest nation that ever existed on the face of the earth. Mr. Obama at this moment is apparently in South America, kissing the butt of a lunatic dictator who has vowed to destroy America, so I guess we know where they both are coming from.
I cannot fathom the depth of this kind of vile horror. Really, my mind can't even hold it. What the hell is wrong with these people?
Yet they pretend not to understand why concerned citizens are having Tea Parties.
Oh well, according to the head of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, I'm a dangerous right-wing terrorist, so I'm sure I'll be tracked down and burned at the stake in maybe one of the earlier rounds of executions. Fine with me. I won't even resist. I wouldn't want to live in the kind of hellhole this administration is creating. I'd be much better off dead and well out of it. It's those who have to go on living who have my sincerest sympathies. 'Course, most of them will be getting just exactly what they voted for.
