Dealing with global warming will be painful, says one of
the most
powerful Democrats in Congress. To back up his claim he is
proposing a
recipe many people won't like _ a 50-cent gasoline tax, a
carbon tax
and scaling back tax breaks for some home owners.

Dingell is trying to avoid the subject of putting CAFE
standards on automobiles by proposing ridiculous taxes that
he knows won't ever be passed:

"Dingell continues to press the point that if we believe
global warming is so serious a threat that it's worth
destroying the automobile industry, then it's also worth
spreading the pain to as many other places as possible.

His proposal is aimed at the Hollywood hypocrites who
testify before Congress about the evils of the auto industry
and then fly private jets back to their 30,000-square-foot
hillside palaces. If the smug global warming warriors who
park their Priuses in four-car garages want to cram everyone
else into wheeled shoe boxes, then they should be willing to
bed down in cracker boxes.

Heating and cooling giant houses produces as much carbon as
driving a sport utility vehicle. . ."
