« on: February 14, 2019, 09:18:05 AM »I can never get a decent answer to these questions.To answer your first question, I think Obama’s $800 billion “stimulus” created a model for what would happen to money extracted for “climate change.”
1. What is government going to do with the money from all the new taxes, surcharges, and fees on fossil fuels that will help man made climate change?
2. As the climate changes naturally, and constantly, how do you measure the effect of Man's measures to reduce CO2, "carbon" etc. on the climate?
3. How do you address the devastating economic effects of making energy, and all products, and services much more expensive for the poor, and middle income earner?
Of the $800 billion:
-$200b on tax credits they no one saw
-$89b to education programs
-$88b to medicare and Medicaid shortfalls
-$61b to unemployment insurance
-$33 billion - 4% - went to “shovel ready” transportation projects.
4% went where we were told it would be going. 4%. The reset was payback to unions and other constituencies.
