Enough!, seems to be the public's evolving sentiment. Obama's poll numbers are dropping and the reason is - what he is proposing is not economically feasible and we know this from the past programs.
Cap & Trade will only add to costs for the consumers while making MORE money for the likes of Goldman Sachs and the government. And, global warming, aka Climate Change, is becoming more exposed for what it really is...a fear-mongering tactic to grab more control and more taxes. I like what George Will had to say at the end of his recent column:
When New York Times columnist Tom Friedman called upon "young Americans" to "get a million people on the Washington Mall calling for a price on carbon," another columnist, Mark Steyn, responded: "If you're 29, there has been no global warming for your entire adult life. If you're graduating high school, there has been no global warming since you entered first grade."
Which could explain why the Mall does not reverberate with youthful clamors about carbon. And why, regarding climate change, the U.S. government, rushing to impose unilateral cap-and-trade burdens on the sagging U.S. economy, looks increasingly like someone who bought a closetful of platform shoes and bell-bottom slacks just as disco was dying.
Health care reform is also being exposed...see here.
A new Gallup poll shows that Obama is starting to get the cold shoulder from the public by trying to accomplish too much...not so much for what he is trying to accomplish, but that we all know it can't possibly be paid for and work as intended without BK'ing us all.
If Obama keeps pushing, the push back may well mean defeat for the Dems in the midterms, and a public that starts demanding a more accountable President.
