This Grist article tells you all you need to know as to why Hillary Clinton is widely distrusted. This Liebermann-Warner proposal for which Clinton is working so hard to get passed calls for an eighty percent reduction in US global emissions by 2050. Eighty fucking percent? Her, Liebermann, and Bernie Sanders (author of the aforementioned eighty percent amendment) and all the rest of this bills proponents are fucking nuts. If they actually pass this measure, and really try to implement it, you might as well live in the jungles of Brazil, or the African savannah. Holy fucking shit.
No wonder people think Hillary Clinton is a hard core Stalinist. She fucking is one. Any cost of this of course will be passed down to the consumers, if it were ever passed, which hopefully there will be enough common sense senators from both parties to prevent that from ever occurring. If it does, hopefully it will be sent to a president who will veto it.
As it is, it may not make it out of committee. In that case, look for Hillary to make it a campaign issue, but don't look for her to advertise the more oppressive aspects of the bill, which she seems to support in total, working so hard for it's passage that the author of the article refers to her as a "real rock star."
Of course in the world of Hillary Clinton, any company that can't absorb the cost of such oppressive measures without passing it on to the consumer will probably be forced out of business, which in her perfect imaginary world is well and good. People wrongly assume the Democrats hate big business. Well, they are only half right. Take out the word big, and you've got it.
On the lighter side, note that Larry Craig, an opponent of the bill (and one of the Senators blocking it from being moved out of committee, to a floor vote, by way of procedural tactics) is mentioned in the article, along with the name of his hometown-Gayville. Now why the fuck didn't they just say Idaho? After all, isn't that how Senators are usually mentioned in public articles, by the name of the state they represent? Yeah, it's funny, but still, how obvious can you be?
At the end of the article, we are urged to pick up our phones and call our Senators to urge support. Yeah, that would be good for a laugh, but most Senators are too busy to put up with prank phone calls.
On the other hand, they might well take it seriously. After all, most people do seem to think Joe Liebermann is some kind of arch-conservative.
Now that is a fucking joke.
