What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

[mercury14]

So let's don't pretend we don't know what these folks are all about, killing capitalism.

Fine, let's say you're right and these people are all Stalinists. Well they failed, didn't they? What are you worried about since they're clearly abject failures at killing the industries you mentioned?

Oh and also, pollution regulation doesn't make something not capitalism.

How do we know they failed? It may be they had overly optimistic milestones, or it may be you just assumed they failed due to your own miscalculations. The point is their Master Mind is still in office for another four years, so they still have time.

We know they failed because the industry you said they tried to kill is instead flourishing.

I wonder if there's some sort of medication that the socialist VA can give him for his lack of logic.

No help from them as they use the full weight of government regulation to destroy by a thousand cuts their industry. That's their long range plan which exceeds the congressional mandate of their authority.

Small government conservatives think the role of government is to swoop into industries (which are typically unionized) and "help them out"?

But who cares? Your story about the administration killing fossil fuels is absurd and not based in reality in the slightest. And like I said, even if that was their goal then they completely failed and you have nothing to worry about.

Like hell it is, Obama campaigned on it.

Obama didn't campaign on killing any industries, only saving them. You're of course free to believe that his policies will not achieve that goal... but you can't say Obama ran on killing fossil fuels without ascribing positions to him. The fact is no regulations have ever killed the fossil fuel industry so take a deep breath.

And for the fourth time, even if that's Obama's goal, well he really fucking sucks at it so you have nothing to worry about.

Audio: Obama Tells SF Chronicle He Will Bankrupt Coal Industry

NEWSBUSTERS????????????????


Haha

You call THAT a source?


They MADE up the audio of Obama saying that

THEY ARE RACIST

 

[Busybody]

Here is the transcript of Obama's statement about bankrupting the coal industry (emphasis mine):

Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there.

I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.

That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.

The only thing I've said with respect to coal, I haven't been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.

It's just that it will bankrupt them.

Well, why hasn't the GOP found ways to subsidize the coal industry so that they won't bankrupt?

Gee, they have. http://www.elistore.org/Data/products/d19_07.pdf
