It’s interesting that the people pushing Doing Something about the climate crisis (scam) are the people least likely to make changes in their own lives. Biden took a fossil fueled flight to Rome to meet with the Pope on a jumbo jet, with a backup jet following, along with multiple fighter jets, and a giants convoy of fossil fueled vehicles. He’ll then reboard and fly to Scotland for the UN IPCC COP26 meeting. Yet, here’s his bill
Climate Change Became the Largest Part of Biden Spending Bill
Climate has emerged as the single largest category in President Biden’s new framework for a huge spending bill, placing global warming at the center of his party’s domestic agenda in a way that was hard to imagine just a few years ago.
As the bill was pared down from $3.5 trillion to $1.85 trillion, paid family leave, free community college, lower prescription drugs for seniors and other Democratic priorities were dropped — casualties of negotiations between progressives and moderates in the party. But $555 billion in climate programs remained.
It was unclear on Thursday if all Democrats will support the package, which will be necessary if it is to pass without Republican support in a closely divided Congress. Progressive Democrats in the House and two pivotal moderates in the Senate, Joe Manchin III of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, did not explicitly endorse the president’s framework. But Mr. Biden expressed confidence that a deal was in sight.
Progressives, like the wankers in The Squad, are upset, but, ultimately, they’ll vote for it, because at least they get some.
The centerpiece of the climate spending is $300 billion in tax incentives for producers and purchasers of wind, solar and nuclear power, inducements intended to speed up a transition away from oil, gas and coal. Buyers of electric vehicles would also benefit, receiving up to $12,500 in tax credits — depending on what portion of the vehicle parts were made in America.
But, these same nutjobs won’t allow nuclear to be built, and extreme-enviros will often protest and sue to block the building of wind and solar in certain areas. As for the tax credits: they won’t make a difference for most EV purchasers. This hooks up the upper upper middle class and the rich.
It will also create a federal group of climate nags
According to NPR, the Civilian Climate Corps would “employ thousands of young people to address the threat of climate change, strengthen the country’s natural defenses and maintain its ailing public lands.†President Biden previously hailed it as a “unified national response to climate change.â€
What will they actually be doing? The bill is unclear about that, and Brandon has failed to release any material on how this would operate, what the duties would be. At that NPR link
Administration officials and Democratic lawmakers all aim to pay corps members at least $15 an hour, plus offer health care and other benefits. They see the jobs as primarily being housed in the Interior and Agriculture departments and the program closely resembling existing initiatives such as AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps and the Corps Network, an association of more than 130 smaller conservation corps still being operated around the country.
Most of the jobs would be short term, with the goal of launching corps members into environmental and outdoors-focused careers.
So easy, high paying jobs for young people to get them to vote Democrat, and no one knows what they’ll actually be doing.
The package, as a whole, will simply increase the cost of living, cost of energy, cost of food, and lower the standard of living. Well, not for rich folks like Biden and his Comrades in Congress.
