By Chris Oliver HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Chinese airlines will boycott payment of carbon-emission charges imposed by the European Union from Jan. 1 on international flights, according to a statement from China's national aviation industry group on Thursday. The China Air Transport Association deputy secretary-general Chai Haibo said China "will not cooperate" on the Emissions Trading Scheme, according to a report by Agence France-Presse. European rules which came into effect Sunday require airlines to buy permits as part of a scheme to offset environmental damage caused by carbon emissions from their jets.

I noticed that we still are in Afganistan, and still have a huge presence in Iraq, and after 2 years of TOTAL Democratic control and 6 years of Senate control, the Part D is not repealed.

How are these programs financed and where does the money come from to finance them while maintaining our social programs which take care of our freeloader and newly entitled citizens?

How would you have dealt with this problem if you have a solution, rather than asking dopey questions that make you look even DUMBer than normal?
