Baucus Against Cap and Tax

I'm liking Max Baucus more and more since he actually stands up to the idiots in his own party.

"I have some concerns about the overall direction of the bill," Mr. Baucus (D., Mont.) said at the start of hearings in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. "I have serious reservations with the depth of the mid-term reduction target in the bill and the lack of preemption of the Clean Air Act."

I think he understands that knee-capping our economy, that is just recovering from a recession, just to lower the temperature by a negligible amount in a 100 years is asinine. The only thing that will make this mess palatable is if it provided billions for nuclear power and offshore drilling. Even then it is a joke of a bill that will probably cause a double dip recession.
