Cap-and-Tax Collapse

Veronique de Rugy
The Corner

This is good news. I especially like this victory paragraph in this morning Wall Street Journal's Review & Outlook:


<<< Please pass Al Gore a Valium — and better make it a double — because his cap-and-trade dreams just took a dive in the U.S. Senate. In a vote late Wednesday, no fewer than 26 Democrats joined all 41 Republicans to insist that any new cap and tax on carbon energy would require at least 60 votes. >>>

However, this vote doesn't mean that the policy is completely dead. As the Journal warns:


<<< Now look for Team Obama to attempt to impose cap and tax the non-democratic way, via regulation that hits business and local governments with such heavy costs that they beg Congress for a less-harmful version. >>>


Read the whole thing here.
