As the President prepares to push his massive energy tax on the American people in the form of “Cap & Trade”, several Republican lawmakers are sponsoring bills that regulate livestock flatulence as well. Although it seems silly, it highlights to us the problems with “Cap & Trade” and how out of touch the environmental movement has become.
“If they do regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, then they will have to do all sources, all emitters,” Sen. John Thune, a South Dakota Republican and co-sponsor of the Senate cow tax bill, S.B. 527, told the news service. “That will include livestock because of the methane created and the greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere.”
Sen.Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, is SB 527’s other sponsor.
There also are a pair of bovine flatulence measures moving through the House, one sponsored by Rep. Frank Lucas or Oklahoma, the ranking Republican on the agriculture committee, and one by Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, a Nebraska Republican.” Read more...

I am worried about global warming. While they vote on this bill,are they going to have another bill on our legislators and president taxing all of the hot air they are emitting to go with their flatulence? What about the rats and mice that we have in our homes? WHY DON’T THEY JUST TAX US FOR BREATHING? My cats have flatulence too. Why don’t they tax them? In fact, since we can’t be held accountable for the bills of another, why don’t they take the cows and make them pay? Of all of the stupid things to have a session in Congress for which to vote, couldn’t they have come up with something that we could possibly have swallowed? Our politicians have become the worst liars or think we are the stupidest people on earth (or maybe the most gullible)! Barring a few, we need to vote them all out of office! They make, what $200K per year and they can’t even come up with a plausible hoax with which to con us out of our shirts! They aren’t even earning their money by giving me a lie that is the slightest bit believable. Let’s band together and vote for someone who can at least be good at his con game!
