The Senate has been debating the Climate Change Bill, a robust legislation that would have instituted a cap and trade system, pushed for innovation and gotten governmental legs on the necessary and needed changes to our consumption and our energy policy.
Of course, the the bill didn't pass. Too many Republicans thought it was a tax increase and would raise gas prices and some Democrats believed that as well. But here's the funny part: As part of the stalling technique, GOP leaders made the clerk read the entire bill. All 500 pages of it that last about 9 hours. You can read about it here.
First, leaders should apologize to the clerks for making them read that thing. More so, it makes me scratch my head because I'm always wondering where people get the idea that government doesn't do anything. Hmmmm.
Not to diss the previous generation, but it's time for Boomers to step aside and leave their conflict-ridden narrative at home. We need SOLUTIONS, not CONFLICT.
