The administration is working hard to push the anthropogenic global

From the second article:
"...the United States backed what amounts to the single biggest
transfer of wealth from rich to poor nations for any one cause -- in a

concessional loans granted to poor nations by the United States,
Europe and other donors this year."

Gosh, how many government jobs will be created to transfer all that
wealth? I suppose those making over $250K will foot the bill, aided by
the money generated from 'cap and trade' of course.

There are lots of weasel words in the above, but by far, the largest
transfer of wealth is our purchase of foreign oil. Or, did you think
Saudi Arabia was always a wealthy country?

You're right. But at least we're getting something for our money.

We should definitely be doing a lot more drilling at home and building
a lot more nuclear plants. You've got the right attitude.

But that's okay, because as a whole, the democrats want to lessen our
need for oil, and pollutants so that MUST be a bad thing.
