Carbon Credits, cap-&-trade, GHG, global warming as a whole.
I am NOT a fan of the aforementioned. I do believe we affect our environment in some way or fashion. We ALL should leave the place better than we found it. Don't make a mess, if you do clean it up.
Congress has decided that we need to pay for our ability to drive, turn on the lights, mow the grass and other routine chores and the like. Wonder why we pay taxes?? Now we gotta pay a usage tax..?!?!
here's the zinger...We get to pay some corporation or company for this "taxable privilege"...??!
The company then pays a Farmer a fee or as they put it "carbon offsets".
Which means that the Farmer is planting a crop that produces oxygen. This O2 (oxygen) is figured by in tons, tonnes or some other equivalent. The amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) is figured in a similar manner and equal amount. The amount of O2 needed to offset the CO2 is figured and then a price per unit is set.
Example- You buy a new car. You pay the price which has shipping and handling and other expenses figured into the sticker price. As the paperwork is figured you pay federal, state, county, local and other taxes for the purchase, which may seem like a third of the total price. Now you have to figure what the "footprint" given off by the engine, the gasses produced by the materials decomposing and other things are. This figure is then equal to a certain amount of CO2. Now you have to purchase "credits" in order to offset" your usage of this vehicle. Even with the newer Hybrid and electric vehicles there is going to be the "credits" to be determined.
You find a company that can sell you the "credits". They have some Farmers in the upper mid=West that have a expansive amount of credits for sale. They charge you say $20.00 per "credit. You need to purchase 40-60 "credits per year to keep your conscience clear.
Other than fuel, mateience, insurance and other things now you have an added expense. What the "company doesn't tell you is that $2.00 of every bought "credit" goes to these Farmers. The "company has a gross profit of $18.00. Middleman.
The governments will get a cut of course........hmm.............
If you want ma to put faith and believe in such a system.....well.....do this one thing and I will concede the point...............................
Catch a fart and paint it green in front of me.
political correctness- ".the belief that one can pick up a turd by the clean end.."

pelosi has got to go...
Yall are all familiar with Mz. pelosi's perdictment.
People are saying we need to send a message to Congress. Well I disagree.
Congress NEEDS to send a message to the people who elected them !!!
Fire her azz and others like her who are running this Country in the ground and in debt!!!
They, (Congress), wants a better approval rating.........Do THE RIGHT THING.....!!!!!!
But, most of all,....get her publicity seeking-lying-wrinkled-useless butt outta there.
Nuff said...fer now.

pelosi needs to go...
Remember the saying.."If you tell the truth you don't have to repeat yourself"???
Well maybe mz. pelosi the Speaker of the House should heed this advice. She, Joe O'Biden, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and "Thu Prez" should keep quiet. Mz pelosi stated that the CIA lied or mislead The Congress. She is NOT the Congress. She is part of it, not it in entirety. Bad thing about it is she can't seem to remember what she said. At the press conference she couldn't remember what she said just a few minutes before. If this is the way she wants to do her job......well.......she needs to go.
Joe, Barney, Harry and the rest of them need to go also. Putting our grand children's grandchildren in debt is NO solution to the current economic debacle. Don't bail em out...let em fail and get bought out by another company.
I don't like to call people fools....but in this case they are perty close.

Id-gitz....cont'd
Since obama took office, it's been a hurry-scurry world in DC. Every little thing seems to be either life or death.
The Budget- We all need to pass this in order to put our grandchildren's grandchildren in debt or else!!! Well they passed it. One statistic I heard from an economist was that a person graduating today from college would not be able to put anything into a retirement fund. Because they will owe it to the gubb-mint.
H1N1, flu- It started in Mexico. Another Montezuma revenge. A few3 thousand folks, worldwide I might add have it. Every year there are about 36,000 that die from the regular flu yearly. This from the secretary or director or czar of Homeland Security, and repeated by the World Health Org. They made it into a pandemic. Thats worse than an epidemic I was always told. hmm.............a couple of thousand verses tens of thousands.............hmm.......................
..........2 vs 36............hmmm.............buncha idgitz!!!
Water boarding- Give em a drink I say!!!
You cant turn on the TV, radio, Internet or read a newspaper, (of which are disappearing almost daily), magazine without some crisis going on in DC. Mostly originating from the White House.
O-Joe Biden wanted a World Crisis, even if they have to make it up.......id-git.
They are acting like they want to be "The Saviour's of the Century".....id-gitz.
Cure Cancer, World Health, Hunger, Peace and the like. But I guess Merle Haggard's song sums it up-
..."we'll all be drinking that free bubble-ubb
and eating that Rainbow Stew." or their BS!!!!!!
