Nancy Pelosi Can Save the Planet According to Krugman: Watch Your Taxes Soar.

Part of the fun of politics may be derived from watching the mental rejects, druggies and the economically hopeless people revel in the notion that they are finally going to ‘make a difference’ and save a whale, cure AIDS or, better, save the planet.  Today, we get a comedy review of this nostrum.  We also get to watch a lesson on rubber economics.

Not unlike a Broadway play, replete with drug addicts, sad songs, overdoses in high C and tambourines clacking, the crusade to save the planet is underway with bells, song and hurrahs.  Let us begin by raising all taxes.

We introduce the players in this intermezzo and wait for the band to strike up:

First, we present the Grand EcoNazi hisself, The Cheated President Al the Gored the ignoble bribe seeker[1], BuddhistTemple money grubber, liar[2]Communist Stooge[3], a Lysenko-styled pseudo scientist/politico[4] [5]. He pandered for money from Asian Communists and then lied about it. He starts up the chorus with a maudlin chant against the Evil One, Carbon Di Oxide [CO2], the Destroyer. Of course, there is no scientific basis for this absurdity.[6] In a very unscientific manner, the chosen representative of that august, group [mostly non scientists and political serfs like Gore] announce that the ‘debate is over’ thus offering no defense and refusing to show the basis of their nonscientific claims. It is final. No debate necessary—raise the taxes. So, what we get from  the ‘scientific community,’ the ones whose shabby little academic futures depend on fat research grants to fund phony research to prove a negative, is only the celebrating and froth. It doesn’t matter if sun spots cause the observed cyclic thermal variations or not, CO₂ has been authorized to accept the blame. So, the party begins. 21,000 scientists[7] disagree [I am included in this group] with this phony tax scam. Their charts and computer models continue to show the temperature going in different directions from the CO₂ levels and they were so embarrassed that they now say that CO₂ could make the temperature go either up or down so ‘change’ is the key. Gee, up is down or up or down, whatever. Thanks for the theory. That is the Obama slogan too. We need a change. The conduct of our so-called ‘concerned scientists’ matches the ethereal zone bounded by the Mesmerists on one side and the cockroaches on the other. Facts do not fit with their science. Politics is not based on truth.

 The ambience is described:

If this was an opera buffa stage scene, it would open with an organ grinder and attendants and some bells and confetti scattered around the stage.  Joining the players would be the monkey [that is best played by algore], the tin cup, always in the monkey’s hand and used for alms and gratuities could be elegantly played by Nancy Pelosi while Paul Krugman would be the wooden nickel in the cup for essence and bait. The Grinder, we soon notice, is O’Bozo the Changeling a grinning caricature of Alfred E. Neuman[8] with his strange smirk and wide set ears who turns the crank to the tune ‘Grunt, Grind and Grab.’ What? Us worry? We gots yer tax money on the drum! We can commit economic suicide and gain power. We can spend what is left on drugs and ‘the poor.’ Jeremiah Wright would sing a solo on dah KKK Amerika and Bill Ayers might give a quick presentation on how to be a modern terrorist.  The chorus would be a mixture of drug addicts, illegal aliens and Islamo-Fascist terrorists with the Mexican flag waving wildly. An oversized statue of Robert Mugabe is dragged across the stage and thousands of absentee ballots are offered to all customers.

 As the follies continue, moochers, winking shrunken heads, bums and United Nations freeloader types pile on the wagon and join the chorus with sobs, threats and calls for taxes. They chant: we need your money for a change.

Next, The Reptile, the one from San Francisco and Queen of the Asian Massage parlors, halts debate on the issue and sends her Congressional flock home to roost while she goes on a book tour to announce she wants to save the planet. Done deal. Well, almost. Her 8^th face lift seems to have failed again. This has left here with a freak show countenance that scorches wall paper with her laser glare and causes flies to faint. Her cadaverous gaze is locked on her victims like a cobra watching the rats run along the ditch. She, The Reptile plays the part of the Tax of Whoredom, the ultimate authority on grabbing loot from capitalists. She leers at the audience until the skin on her head looks ready to split and tear. The audience screams. William Henry Pratt [9]himself could have not invented a more reviling and horrifying countenance. She is the backdrop for the show.  The toadies run around in little circles, hop and clap and sing the Mexican anthem while strewing marijuana joints around the stage under a pink light.

After the foam and froth settles, and a quick consume change, the New York Times scurries in stage left led by their chief Kazoo Blower the renowned non-economist Paul Krugman of Tax Hike Zombie[10]fame. Paul has never seen a tax hike that did not excite him.  They all sing Tax to the Max until they swoon.

Getting back to the text:

He pulls out a newspaper and recites for the audience:

“Recently the Web site The Politico asked Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, why she was blocking attempts to tack offshore drilling amendments onto appropriations bills. “I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet,” she replied.”[11]-- Can This Planet Be Saved? by Paul Krugman 8.01.08. [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]This link references all quotes in this essay unless otherwise stated

Notice the use of double speak?[12] Actually, she is trying to sink the economy. Can we remember Jimmy Carter? Hillary actually saved us from socialized medicine by being obnoxious, vindictive and ruthless in public.  She drove Billy to Monica on the White House Oval Office rug with her fury. She is not a player in this production today as she and her consort played the race card at the wrong time and at a person of color instead of just any Republican.  Her 250 million dollar fiasco is now political history. Billary joins Geraldine Anne Ferraro[13] as one of the electrifying new racists of note bested only by David Duke. The far left have nothing left but your tax money and wealth. They will try for as much of your money as they can get. They can get nothing any other way. Look at San Francisco and the state of California as they go broke. Tax Whoredom gone wild.

The kazoo blows and we get another lesson in economics from the NYT, —aka the Walter Duranty Papers[14]--continues on in Act II:

“True, Ms. Pelosi’s remark was a happy reminder that environmental policy is no longer in the hands of crazy people. Remember, less than two years ago Senator James Inhofe — a conspiracy theorist who insists that global warming is a “gigantic hoax” perpetrated by the scientific community — was the chairman of the Senate’s Environment and Public Works Committee.”

It still is a giant hoax. Notice the churlish pejoratives used here by the Times. It is also a praiseworthy racist issue as we hear from a class racist:

“Climate change is no longer just an environmental issue. It’s now an issue of race, according to global warming activists and policy makers.”[15]-- House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C 7/29/2008, today’s date.

So, we have the dope addicts, leftist politicos, the pre-programmed drive-by media, hookers and racists in the chorus all bawling for money. That is the message from Act II.

Going on with the show:

“Most criticism of John McCain’s decision to follow the Bush administration’s lead and embrace offshore drilling as the answer to high gas prices has focused on the accusation that it’s junk economics — which it is.”

Our esteemed economist here, displaying his krugmaniacal logic for us in public, has yet to give us a coherent essay on economic  supply-demand laws or tell us how tax cuts spur economic growth. He cannot seem to recall that most tax hikes return smaller revenues.  I wonder why he cannot explain that to us. The solution to all economics problems of the left can be solved with a tax hike. And this Tax Hike Zombie [16]of the Old Gray Lady is one of the noisiest. He views any tax cut as a ‘cost’ to the leftist society. The liberals know best how to spend your money.

If we drill more and supply our own oil to ourselves then the slimy Islamo-Fascisti will not get our dollars after a time. Krugman does not allow us to figure in new oil from exploration and drilling and processing into the supply schedule, thus telling us a little fib. I wonder if he every passed Econ 101. He would have failed at SUNY—pick a branch. He should have picked up some basic economics at Ivy League, but, then, they were into lots of politics in those days.[17] I guess we need to view his work as ‘progressive’ and not related to basic theory but some form of political pandering. In all fairness, there are no academic standards left in the Ivy League that matter that could be used to screen professors. All that is necessary is to swear that you hate Republicans and capitalism and that qualifies the entrant to university chairs. We can submit examples like Noam Chomsky, Cornel West and Angela Davis as proof. That makes sense and answers the questions we might ask about his economic theories. He seems to avoid calculus in his ‘text books’ and that makes some sense as the light weights have trouble with figgers. The Neo-Kenysian economics advocate Krugman has a long history of mixing and matching numbers until the result coincides with his politics. [18] As such, his proclamations and analysis of the economy compare more with freak show performances than reality.  The little hob goblins of his favor always seen to dance around the snake pit and howl for money.

Playing the part of the Clown he now fibs about a fib:

“A McCain campaign ad says that gas prices are high right now because “some in Washington are still saying no to drilling in America.” That’s just plain dishonest: the U.S. government’s own Energy Information Administration says that removing restrictions on offshore drilling wouldn’t lead to any additional domestic oil production until 2017, and that even at its peak the extra production would have an “insignificant” impact on oil prices.”

Here, we find that even though we have massive oil reserves, perhaps the biggest in the world, if we drill and produce oil that it cannot ever increase he supply! What is he talking about?? This nostrum approaches the dizzying heights of Neo-Kenysian economics.

Look at this as a general refutation of his blather:

February 13, 08Massive Oil Deposit Could Increase US reserves by 10x

 “America is sitting on top of a super massive 200 billion barrel Oil Field that could potentially make America Energy Independent and until now has largely gone unnoticed. Thanks to new technology the Bakken Formation in North Dakota could boost America’s Oil reserves by an incredible 10 times, giving western economies the trump card against OPEC’s short squeeze on oil supply and making Iranian and Venezuelan threats of disrupted supply irrelevant.”[19]

The leftist politico is lying when he demands that we cannot increase supply and lower prices. There is no truth in his phony assertions that we cannot drill our way out of the slimy clutches of the idiot Islamo-Fascists and communist pigs like Hugo Chavez. He wants us to fail. Liberals have no hope for any political future unless they can milk capitalism in some manner. They are scavengers as they were taught to be by the wonderful people from the French and Russian revolutions. They were swell people and defined liberalism for us. They murdered 100,000,000 people using their warped theories.

In the final act he takes a bow to the wild applause of O’Bozo, the Reptile and others who stand to gain fame and political power for the far left.

But, now a  wondrous thought………and a caveat?

“It’s true that scientists don’t know exactly how much world temperatures will rise if we persist with business as usual. But that uncertainty is actually what makes action so urgent. While there’s a chance that we’ll act against global warming only to find that the danger was overstated, there’s also a chance that we’ll fail to act only to find that the results of inaction were catastrophic. Which risk would you rather run?”

The ‘scientists’ that run the EcoNazi Follies don’t know what they are doing?!

Gee, thanx. We now read that he thinks the ‘scientists’ don’t know what is happening so we need to wreck our economy just in case. That is nice. Maybe if our economy sinks then Europe can hope to gain some respect. We are also missing the China and Indian inputs to the problem here. Are we the only ones that can save the planet?

What we are reading here is a frantic mix of racism, voodoo economics of the shrunken head sort, leftist politics, and a massive chunk of the Blarney Stone in a stage production called ‘change.’

My risk preferences, thank your for asking, run against the left liberals as they are simple stooges, race mongers, tax whores and bootlickers of the stale Marxian theories. Their failed social programs have shown us that they cannot connect two reasonable thoughts in a logical sequence and this aromatic pile of goat droppings from Walter Duranty’s Memorial Rag proves the point. There is no uncertainty in this analysis.

As proof of this theory, we need only watch CA,[20] NJ and NY[21] go bankrupt as a testament of how liberals think and act socially and financially.  All this comes at a time when the entire world is in financial danger.[22] Liberals given a free hand on how to construct inner city societies have come up with sloth, sodomy, high crime and worse.  Examples are Detroit, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, Phoenix, Dallas, Washington, DC and New Orleans.[23] These are all human cesspools. These are the results of decades of dedicated liberalism.

So, let us celebrate high gas prices, unemployment, swarms of illegal aliens committing felonies with the tacit approval and applause of the far left and their drug-besotted sponsors. And worse, while we suffer an economic down turn due to insufficient energy supplies we must give a break to China and India and the shrunken remains of the USSR. The US, alone, can valiantly save the planet by not drilling for oil and not eating red meat. That makes political sense to drunks and leftist politicians.

So, the little intermezzo ends with clapping, more of the clap, and grand visions of spending your tax money while the economy crashes. That sounds like the USSR in 1989 does it not?

‘Grunt, Grind and Grab.’ What? Us worry?
