Boxer on C-SPAN: Unemployment Is Great for the Climate

Senator Barbara Boxer (D-California) appeared on CSPAN’s Newsmakers this Sunday to talk about the Kerry-Boxer climate bill. The highlight of the interview was when Boxer said that recent behavioral changes led to a drop in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. She must have been referring to foreclosures and layoffs, because the ailing economy is the only reason that emissions have fallen.

Boxer inadvertently made a great point: Greenhouse gas emissions are causally correlated with economic growth. This is why her cap-and-tax energy-rationing bill is bad news for the American economy.

Just more evidence that this U.S. Senator is a borderline MORON…!

Liberals espousing unemployment in a positive light are foolishly boisterous of their big government mentality – that such conditions foster greater dependency on the role/power of government. How's that California economy working out for you, Barbara?
