A lot happened while I was in DC for meetings last week. Many things to blog about this week. Let's start with a piece by Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels on the folly of cap and trade in the Wall Street Journal.
Governor Daniels hits several nails on the head; but i think this was my favorite:
Quite simply, it looks like imperialism. This bill would impose enormous taxes and restrictions on free commerce by wealthy but faltering powers -- California, Massachusetts and New York -- seeking to exploit politically weaker colonies in order to prop up their own decaying economies. Because proceeds from their new taxes, levied mostly on us, will be spent on their social programs while negatively impacting our economy, we Hoosiers decline to submit meekly.
If this bill is going to be stopped, we must all "decline to meekly submit."
