Mike Pence, who is considered by some to be one of the new voices of the Republican Party, demonstrates why he deserves to be:
Pence, R-Ind., said Democrats' proposed cap-and-trade legislation to deal with carbon dioxide emissions would also drive more American manufacturing jobs
to other countries.
I think, rightly understood, the cap-and-trade legislation represents an economic declaration of war on the Midwest by liberals in Washington,” Pence told The Star Press in a telephone interview.
Not literally war, but if trade turns out to fit the bill for what William James called the "moral equivalent of war," then cap-and-trade is be the moral equivalent of treason, and the casualties will be real.
