I always find it interesting...

...that many of the same politicians that are against "cap and trade" deals when it comes to corporations and greenhouse gases or mining limits, are all for the very same "cap and trade" policies when it comes to, say government spending on disaster relief where (for example) one Mr. Cantor from VA thinks we shouldn't allocate money to FEMA for the hurricane without offsetting costs elsewhere (in the same, already trimmed too much, FEMA budget).

The fact that Cantor is right there representing communities (hint hint, Mineral, VA) much affected by a natural disaster in the last week seems to be completely lost to him.

As will his political future.  Dude, you weren't put there to represent a national platform, you were put there to represent the needs and concerns of your constituents, and they WILL notice you not caring about their needs as you rant about natural disaster spending.

Or if they don't, well then I suppose they deserve a schmuck like you.

Shame is, the rest of us don't.

That's pretty much our collective situation, right now.
