Reply #4: The Neoliberals on DU would be siding with the people who want Pollution Credits. [View All]

[Leopolds Ghost]

And the Republicans would be demanding we do nothing at all and funding circus acts to distract people enough so that the Overton window is shifted noticeably to the right and get the Dems to do the Republicans' work for them by advocating the "Green Market" Conservative position on the issue. Other viewpoints on the subject would quickly be banned as the air is sucked out of the room; Michael Moore would come out and denounce people who oppose pollution credits as useful idiots for the opposition, and say it's the only way to eventually fund a carbon free economy as the coal plants wither away on their own.

Next question.
