Is former President Bill Clinton trying to derail his wife's chances at becoming President? Yesterday in a speech he delivered in Denver he is quoted as saying,
“And maybe America, and Europe, and Japan, and Canada -- the rich counties -- would say, 'OK, we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren."
Let me get this straight…a former President believes that we should harm our own way of life and economy and in doing so harm everyone in the world to solve a “problem” that people aren’t even certain can be solved by a slowed economy. Good idea Bill…I am sure Hillary really appreciates you going out on the stump for her saying whatever pops in your head.
If you have been following the presidential politics the past couple months the issue of a recession is in full play. Every candidate and even the current President have gotten into the mix. That ridiculous “economic stimulus” (AKA political pandering) plan has been approved by the House and will be voted on shortly by the Senate. So, if we are trying to avert a recession, why would the husband of a Democratic candidate for President advocate artificially creating a recession to combat Global Warming? A recession, by definition, is two consecutive quarters of decline in real GDP. Therefore, a “slowdown” in our economy that Bill is touting would probably result in a recession or even worse. This could be the first time in history that a major political party representative is supporting economic suicide. I am sure China and India are waiting for the day that America voluntarily shuts down her economy.
Thanks Bill for making my choice this November even easier.
