Apparently it’s Christmas in July. Not convinced? Just look at the gift giving zeitgeist which has taken hold of Congress.

Not only has Congress passed this bill, but, they didn’t even read it (I talked about this earlier), in fact, the administration rushed it through the House of Representatives as fast as it could. Even though the kind folks at the National Review have pointed out fifty problems in this bill, I’m confident that in the one thousand plus pages of this bill there is even more waste of taxpayer money and graft.Although I’m not going to point out each and every flaw (the bill is about as long as an unabridged copy of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexendre Dumas), I will say that the fifty flaws already pointed out by the National Review are glaring enough to win this bill my hatred; this bill also further supports my hypothesis on this Congress: they are clueless on how to really help the people of this nation. I know what your thinking: “during his campaign Barack Obama said his administration’s increased taxes and costs would only affect ‘the rich’ and ‘the polluters’ he couldn’t be lying.” Well, that promise-just like his promise for “fiscal responsibility”- is all vapor.
Clearly, this bill sponsors the ineffective and the inefficient “alternatives” like ethanol (it takes 1.2 gallons of gasoline to produce 1 gallon of ethanol); it supports the inconclusive (we have yet to find any benefits to “no till” methods promoted in this bill); they have also found even more ways to increase the size of the bureaucracy, give out even more handouts to large corporations, and increase the cost on the middle class, and, all before the birthday of the country on the fourth of July where they celebrate putting another nail in the coffin of the USA. This bill sends money to groups like ACORN who have only proven to hurt the nation through voter fraud, as opposed to promoting the increasing of environmentally beneficial alternatives through groups like the Nature Lyceum (http://thenaturelyceum.org/school.html) whose promotions of environmentally restorative organic growing have potential to really help the environment.
Overall, I find Waxman Markey to be a half assed, euphonic detriment to the United States, the environment and common sense. It is part of this current administration and Congress’ continued assault on all that is American, all that makes sense, and all that is beneficial to the populace at large; they seek only to benefit their supporters and fail to realize the problems of their grandiose plans for “change.” This isn’t the Constitutional Democratic Republic which was created over 200 years ago, our government has devolved into a group seeking the powers of a diety, its supporters in the Democratic party are little more than jacobins, and, the press, has become little more than a propaganda mill hoping to cement itself a position in the line for government handouts.
