Well that would save 1.3 trillion. Wonder what the dems will do in the senate? Oh nothing like they always do. So again we see some folks trying to get the ball rolling but a wall stands in the way.
"On a party line vote, the Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee voted to ban funding in next year's budget for Obama's initiative to support poor nations in adapting to climate change or pursuing clean energy.
But the measure's future is uncertain as other committees also have jurisdiction over climate funding including in the Senate, where Obama's Democratic Party is in control.
Representative Connie Mack, a Republican from Florida, said he proposed the funding cut as "we have to prioritize US tax dollars." Jean Schmidt, a Republican from Ohio, questioned if human activity was causing climate change.
Democrats attacked the move. Representative Howard Berman, the top Democrat on the committee, said it would cut off funding for vulnerable populations that are already feeling the effects of climate change."
Small victories. We have no money for ourselves nevermind helping poor nations pursue clean energy.
Let's see . .. what was that report that came out recently- that there is no longer any large body of water in China that is unpolluted? Maybe we should be sending money to them, too, to help them clean up the mess they have made running the factories that took all our jobs.
Wow... lucky we cut Social Security, Medicare, raise taxes, cut military and cabinet budgets, etc etc... to throw money at other countries... aren't the liberals smart.... if I was those countries, I just pocket that money and call it a day... oh wait, that's whats going to happen once the liberals have their way... smart liberals..
The house has been doing a pretty good job of doing what their voters put em there to do. Nothing is getting out of the senate is the problem. Dirty Harry just sits on it all.
They can't do it all when they only control 1/3 of the process and half of em are only worried about me me me either. Re-election is all they care about around this time.
Well it only passed the house committee. Good luck after that.
