The Environmental-Industrial Complex
Iain Murray on Warner-Lieberman:
The Global Warming Bill in a Nutshell
Having learned from the Farm Bill that people will pass anything if you buy enough of them off, Sen. Boxer has proposed a substitute amendment to the Lieberman-Warner global warming bill currently before the Senate, which will redistribute trillions (yes, trillions) of dollars to the environmental-industrial complex.
Senator McConnell just objected to the Boxer substitute amendment being taken as read. The Clerk is now reading aloud the 491 page substitute, which was described as making small textual corrections to the 157 page bill.
