Sensenbrenner, Baldwin at odds over greenhouse emission plan
Tuesday, February 12, 2008 (135 reads)

..."We cannot use the actions -- or inactions -- of developing nations as an excuse for our behavior," Baldwin said, adding that Congress is moving toward cap-and-trade. She also promised that a climate control law will include a provision to encourage developing countries to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

"While again calling for $3 trillion in tax cuts for the privileged and well-connected over the next 10 years, the president wants to finance those tax cuts by drastically cutting funds for Medicare, Medicaid, the Centers for Disease Control, low-income home energy assistance, Community Oriented Policing Services, and the Environmental Protection Agency, among others."
