"The Raid on Western Treasuries Is On Again"..."It's Not Easy Being Green"

I just finished reading Charles Krauthammer's recent article "It's Not Easy Being Green" with the above quote introducing the new religion: environmentalism. I just had to "rant" a bit so if ranting turns you off, move on to another post.  :-)  Whether or not you agree with charles Krauthammer's viewpoint, he has an eloquent way of making you think!  Guess that's why he won a Pulitzer Prize.  His physical body may be paralyzed, but his brain is crisp and quick.

Decreasing workers must pay increasing taxesI had to stop and reread the news this week that Hillary Clinton has agreed the U.S. will contribute to the world fund on climate control.  What?  The scientific community can't even agree on a way to measure climate change or if CO2 is the main cause!  Now just where is this money going to come from?  We all know it will come from the ever increasing taxes on the ever decreasing number of us who beat the pavements and fill the jobs of the working citizens of the U,S.   

How did this happen in a year when the U.S. can't even meet the needs of it's citizens?  And being a former chemist I have to question the volume of erroneous information spewing forth about global warming.  Seriously, is this fund going to be used to replant the rain forest (one of the biggest absorbers of CO2) around the world and keep 3rd world countries from harvesting the timber for money?  I think not!  It will go to pay some world burecrat in another country a salary or pad the accounts of another country's budget while the forests continue to be cut down and the polluting industrial revolution spreads thru the rest of the world. 

 As many of us in business begin to plan our budgets for next year in the middle of a recession in the U.S., I am starting to wonder just how we can as a country can start all this new spending in world environmentalism, an increased war effort in Afghanistan, a proposed major increased health spending bill (that cuts present Medicare), free government paid education for all, and without any additional money to pay for it.  Looks like another government budget recipe for failure, to me, much like the 100% financing options for poor credit score homebuyers!
