Just What Is Waxman-Markey For?

My husband has an article in The Washington Examiner today about the Waxman-Markey bill today that I think everyone must read.

He starts by asking a question.

As the House of Representatives girds to debate the Waxman-Markey energy and global warming bill, no one seems to be asking the most important question: Just what is it for? Any honest look at the bill would show that it cannot be about reducing global temperatures, so President Obama and Congressional Democrats must be putting so much effort into it for other reasons.

He ends with a plausible answer.

In all, it seems very likely that Waxman-Markey’s “cap and trade” scheme is not about cooling the planet, but about creating a new income stream for government to pay for a completely unrelated and vastly expensive new entitlement.

I urge you to read the whole thing.
