Politics - 27 December 2007

At yesterday’s Deals & Deal Makers Conference in New York, Glenn Hubbard, the Columbia Business School Dean and former Bush administration economic adviser, argued in favor of a carbon tax.

http://blogs.wsj.com/energy/2007/06/28/hubbard-argues-for-a-carbon-tax/

Hubbard supports either a carbon tax or a carbon cap and trade system in which the carbon credits are auctioned off. He does not support a cap and trade system in which the credits are given away, because then the government isn't getting any funds from the process.

Hubbard basically feels that the government can redistribute funds from a carbon tax to reduce other taxes and have no net tax increase.

This is no liberal. This is a former Bush economic advisor who was instrumental in Bush's 2003 tax cuts

What do you think about this conservative economist pushing for a carbon tax?

for the U.S. to increase its efforts to combat terrorism.

"Her murderers must be brought to justice, and Pakistan must continue the path back to democracy and the rule of law," Giuliani said in a statement. "Her death is a reminder that terrorism anywhere - whether in New York, London, Tel-Aviv or Rawalpindi - is an enemy of freedom. We must redouble our efforts to win the terrorists' war on us."

Question: Giuliani is so right about this ! u agree?

As I read the reteric (and sadly yes, do participate) between Republicans and Democrats, Liberals and Conservatives, each claiming one is worse as President than the other, I'd like to read your opinion. Please give specific examples to support your statement of who is/was a worse leader, President Clinton or President George W. Bush.

Let the bloodbath begin!!!!!

400 scientists from 2 dozen countries have come out in a Senate report and stated that man-made global warming is a hoax, and the biggest possible repercussion from this global warming is from the hysteria surrounding it. Please, read the link below. Please notice the incredible qualifications of the scientists. Also, please recall that algore said that there were no scientists who disagreed with man-made global warming. Just another lie in his Academy Award winning, Nobel Peace Prize winning, piece of crap power point presentation (I did better ones in college).

On a side note, has anybody heard about this in major newspapers or network television? I think not. Just further proof of liberal bias in the media.

Man it feels good to be right.
