Che & Obama (Justin's Take)

Justin's take on Hillary's proposal:

I guess it doesn't matter anymore man.

I just love how biofuels are pitched as 'green' because they are made from ingredients that humans can consume, and therefore MUST be better for the environment. Never mind the fact that biofuels pollute nearly 2x as much (according to a recent study on ethanol).

Now for the 'play by play':

Hillary's Green Jobs Plan will (raise taxes):

• Modernize 20 Million Low-Income Homes to Improve Energy Efficiency (this money will come from increased tax on individuals as well as businesses).
• Provide emergency energy assistance for Maryland families facing skyrocketing heating bills (this vote buying measure will again be paid for by tax revenue).
• Invest $5 billion in accelerated energy efficiency and alternative energy investments to jumpstart green collar job growth (this $5 billion will just grow on trees...you and I won't have to pay a dime here).
• Create a $50 Billion Strategic Energy Fund and Demand that Oil Companies Invest in Clean Energy (Oil companies are OIL COMPANIES, if the public demand is such, "NEW" industry could emerge and challenge the Oil Companies).
• Raise Fuel Economy Standards. Hillary has proposed a plan to raise fuel economy standards to 40 mpg by 2020 and 55 mpg by 2030 (Kiss your truck good bye, you'll be driving a go kart).
• Help Automakers Retool Plants (why do they need to be retooled? Is she talking about machine tools....or Corporate 'tools'?).
• Promote Plug-In Hybrids (PHEV) (Ahh..yes. PHEVs are soooo green. They take electricity from your HOME, and store it in LEAD and ACID batteries that after a few years must be sent to special 'HAZMAT' landfills. Go Green. Go PHEV!!!).
• Create a Green Building Fund to Make Public Buildings More Energy Efficient (this "Fund" will no doubt be paid for by taxes).
• Train "Green Collar" Workers (what is a "Green Collar" worker anyway?I understand Blue Collar, I understand White Collar...where does green fit in?).

In short...taxes will go up, wealth will be redistributed, industries will crumple, and landfills will be inundated with dead PHEV batteries. Go Hillary!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Oil companies are the cornerstone of our economy, and the only sector not facing SEVERE hardships right now. Sure they make massive profits, it's not like they just throw it in the bank and sit on it. No, they spend it. Oil creates jobs, lets make them unprofitable so we can all be equally miserable. The only thing she'll 'accelerate' is the demise of my beloved
USA.
