It Could Have Been Worse
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
Depending on your perspective, the outcome of the talks in Copenhagen ended as a fizzle or as a hopeful signal for the future. The details will likely find their way out over the coming weeks with more of the same assessments ranging from “nothing got done” to “we’re on the way to something special now”. What we can expect is that advocates for expanding government controls will seek to leverage their current status to the next level of further command and control.
We can also anticipate that taxpayers will be pressed for greater extractions in the name of saving the planet from melting. Based on the announcements made by various cabinet members our country is probably on the hook for at least 101 Billion. Then again rampant and unsustainable spending is what the current Administration specializes in. As long as they can pour our money down whatever rat-hole they invent as a cause…they and their supporters believe there is a meaningful accomplishment worth taking credit for.
Absent an iron-fisted, international accord that we would be forced to kneel down to we will continue to remain in the soft-tyranny of political correctness with the steady vise of regulations and potential legislation threatening our economic viability. No international treaty is probably as good as we could have hoped to come from the two-week enviro-fest in Denmark, but that result will not put an end to the international assault which seeks to destroy the U.S. economy while bleeding it dry in a world-wide redistribution of the assets our capitalistic system has been able to create.
Our best hope for the future needs to be on using the 2010 election process to replace the national legislative group who are intent on using the hoax of Climate Change as their vehicle to force greater government and spending on us.
