I'm loving what the 5 liberal and 5 moderate democrats did with healthcare (let's hope it sticks) and Susan Collins and Ron Wyden have teamed on amendments to the Senate healthcare bill.
The very odd duo of Al Sharpton, Newt Gingrich and Al Sharpton have teamed on education and seem to be making strides.
Also working on climate change are Maria Cantwell and Susan Collins:
Also Thursday, Sens. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) introduced a climate bill using a model in which the government would auction off pollution permits and funnel three-quarters of the money back to every American in monthly payments.Read the trio's outline for climate action here.
"You've got to buy people's confidence that you can make this transition off carbon in a predictable fashion," Cantwell said. "We're going to protect consumers by giving them a check back." WaPo
The Washington Post, which yesterday published Sarah Palin's climate change denying foolishness, puts a negative spin on the trio's climate change framework. Lighten up WaPo. It's a start.
As far as the climate change deniers, there comes a time when we have to turn our backs on ignorance. Climate change deniers are entertaining and annoying but we should be tackling the issue, not listening to dimwits.
