Kevin Brady, Big Business, et. al. vs. Science

The comedian from the 8th Congressional District, Kevin Brady, is at it again. This jokester has been making us laugh (until we cry) on his opposition to the cap and trade legislation for some time now. Now he is co-sponsoring legislation to block the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ability to regulate deadly CO2 emissions in Texas. Thumbing his nose at the facts and science, Brady jumps right on the GOP bandwagon. Who cares if the fate of the planet is in the balance, we have to do what's right for bit-ness, today! Brady is doing everything he can to ensure that whoever is left standing (if anyone is) can truly call our era The Age of Stupid.

 The punchline, though, is the last section of the statement. We are so used to legalized bribery, these guys don't even bother hiding it anymore.

From Congressman Kevin Brady:

EPA Tries to End-Around Congress on Cap & Trade
Brady moving to block agency from killing jobs, driving up energy prices in Texas

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-TX) will soon introduce legislation with fellow Texan Joe Barton to block the Environmental Protection Agency from imposing devastating greenhouse gas restrictions without approval of Congress. The controversial global warming cap and trade proposal has stalled in the Senate as the American public has grown increasingly skeptical of global warming and increasingly vocal against higher energy and fuel costs which will result. “I won’t stand by while unelected bureaucrats try to circumvent the will of the people who strongly oppose this job-killing cap and trade scheme”, said Brady, who fought the bill when House Democrats rushed it through the House this past summer. “The White House has failed to win support by Congress so they are attempting to force it through the back door which will drive up energy prices and kill hundreds of thousands of good paying Texas jobs in energy, chemical manufacturing, paper and steel mills and agriculture.”  Brady’s effort to block the EPA is supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Manufacturers, American Petroleum Institute, National Association of Homebuilders, FreedomWorks and the Farm Bureau.
