If what Obama has done so far is considered "centrist" or "moderate", I don't want to see what he does as a Leftist:
The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to act for the first time to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that scientists blame for the warming of the planet, according to top Obama administration officials.
I like the "other greenhouse gasses" added in there. The power the EPA will yield just in the area of regulation for CO2 is enough to make Stalin or Mao 'green' with envy. By also regulating "other" GHG's the EPA will effectively control through regulation, any emission, of any gas, from any source.
The increased cost of goods and services is only the tip of the iceberg. The
current spike in inflation was driven primarily through increases in energy cost. Wait until CO2 and "
other" GHG emission regulation kicks in. Costs, and inflation, will go off the charts. What kind of sense does it make to do this with its obvious consequences when the economy is already on the edge?
