Now, Obama will take this meaningless piece of paper and claim that by signing his name to it the US is morally obligated to live up its commitments (commitments we haven't actually made, given that there is no treaty, and further, given the Constitution is rather specific on the point of what makes a binding treaty, and it's not just Captain Wonderful's scribbling) and will pressure the Congress -- and crucially, the EPA -- into shooting more bullets into an already bleeding-out economy.
And oh yeah -- as a coblogger noted today, he's also promising a mere $33 billion of your money every year to pay undeveloped countries to plant trees and develop solar power and a bunch of other things they won't do anyway. Since, in case Obama hasn't noticed (and I guess he hasn't), undeveloped countries already take money meant for food and medicine and spend them mostly on tanks and guns and buying off tribes to keep their ruling class in power, and the rest of the money goes into their own stock of CDs and T-bills and, of course, hookers. -Ace, of Ace of Spades, on the economic assraping we're looking forward to courtesy of Copenhagen. |
