Day prior to our Nations Birthday, New War - Climate Change

In 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson proposed legislation which became known as “The War on Poverty.” Five years later, Richard Nixon, introduced “The War on Drugs.”And what do we have to show for these brilliant government initiatives, 40 years later? Not much, besides massive expansion of the welfare state and the costly incarceration of millions of people for victimless crimes. These two “wars” have done nothing to reduce poverty or curb the abuse of drugs.But their effects are minor compared to the next “war” which our government is set to engage. And this is one in which you will be enlisted, whether you like it or not. I’m talking about the “War on Climate Change.”I predict this new “war” will have the same effect as those that have preceded it. It will serve to enrich government coffers and expand its power, while failing to have any effect on the climate whatsoever.And this initiative is likely to drive the final nail in the coffin of the U.S. economy.
