Once Upon a Time Magazine

To help grease the skids for Barack Obama's proposed "Cap and Trade" carbon dioxide tax, Time Magazine published an article called "Putting a Price Tag on the Melting Ice Caps." Predictably, they estimated the damages to be so astronomically high that the president's intent to downsize American industry while pumping trillions out of the economy seems like a bargain.

There's just one problem: the same day Time's scare piece hit the stands, researchers announced that arctic ice was actually growing dramatically, owing to "unusually cold weather."

Also "growing dramatically" is the scientifically-supported opinion that man-caused Global Warming / Climate Change is a myth.

The Democrats' "Healthcare Reform" was never about healthcare, and always about redistribution of wealth. Similarly, "Cap and Trade" is not about energy or the environment, but is also about redistribution of wealth. It is an ambitious and all-encompassing strategy of "Stealth Socialism," attempting to fly under America's radar.

And that should put a chill up enough spines to assure that the ice caps will never melt.

A Yen for Chinese

The Whitehouse has decided to delay a report which labels China a "currency manipulator," after fears that it could touch off a trade war.

China's currency manipulation currently undermines US exports, depresses our GDP, and leeches jobs from the American economy...all of which are very bad things. But standing up to China would involve...well...standing up, which doesn't come naturally to a president whose first instinct would be to bow to Burger King.

Of course, it's hard to stand up to someone if you owe them money...and we currently owe China over $776 billion, which has been borrowed to finance our ever-metastasizing social programs. That's over $10,000 for every working family in America.

And unfortunately, as long as China is free to manipulate our currency, there will be fewer working families every year.

The Easter Funny

Barack Obama's poll numbers have hit an all-time low, causing a usually secular mainstream media to pray for their resurrection. Here's a hint for the newscasters: don't hold your breath. Or, better yet, do.

Happy Easter to all, from Hope n' Change!
