The Global Warming Racket to Minnesota Citizens: Bend Over!

How do you get a Number 41 business ranking out of 50 states even lower?

Just ask the House democrats. The Minnesota House last night passed a Cap-and-Trade agreement that would force selected companies that produce "so-called" "greenhouse gases" to purchase credits from companies that don't.

Republicans (rightly) opined that,

jobs could be lost and that consumers and businesses could be hurt. Some questioned the human contribution to global warming and whether global warming should be considered a crisis. Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, read 30-year-old headlines that warned about global cooling.

Aah, but the oh-so-wise and informed Kate Knuth, the author of the bill, stated,

"Cap-and-trade will change the jobs that we have in Minnesota -- I think it will change the jobs for the better," "It will bring clean-energy jobs."

Well, Kate, thanks so much for those witty words of comfort as you sell ours and our children's economic futures down the river to shoo away a bogeyman THAT DOESN'T EXIST.

Follow the money, folks. Follow the money.
