B.) The Democratic house passed cap and trade (a concept I use interchangeably with that of a carbon tax.)  And yes, there used to be at least some sane people in the Democratic party. Its not a plus for the president that the adults in his own party had to block a campaign promise.  

C.) Still no one taking up the realitities of his economic philodophy and it's role in the housing collapse.  Sad sad sad.

A) The National Socialist Party of Germany had the government dictating the choices made in key industries -both on the management side and the labor unions side - but the original owners of the factories were typically allowed to make and keep profits, so long as they were not Jewish, of course. You could argue that, to the extent that regulations are overbearing, our government today is dictating choices in industry. But one of our two parties wants to limit the choices available to management, while the other is trying to limit the choices available to labor unions.

B) Cap and trade is totally different from a carbon tax.  Read up on it.  Seriously.  I don't want to say you're an idiot, but to me, what you said is somewhere between saying health care and health insurance are the same thing, and saying dogs and children are the same thing

C) I honestly don't know what role a state senator in Illinois may have played in allowing banks all over the country to get over leveraged with risky loans that were labeled as "not risky."

A.) Go deeper.  The basic principal is that the state fundamentally controls everything as a function of state social policy.  The profit motive is driven not by personal innovation but by centrally planned state aims.  

And we aren't trying to limit options we are trying to limit coercion.  

B.) Liar liar, both are a means of taxation artificially making certain kinds of energy more expensive.   It's childish.  America lead the world in carbon reductions while the Paris countries actually increased carbon emissions.  The state can't make sure that soldiers have their toiletries but they can micro-manage the atmosphere?  Lol.  

C.) What did he believe.  What did he advocate.  How did that play out.  

DETENTION!!!!!  

LOL.
