"Business warms to Democratic leaders; Corporate America partnering on bills" by Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | May 28, 2009
That is what they HAMMERED REPUBLICANS OVER!
Could there be any clearer example that AmeriKan politics are s*** fooleys (why papers waste so much time on it) and both parties are bought and paid for?
WASHINGTON - As the House Energy and Commerce Committee prepared to pass a landmark climate change bill earlier this month, committee leaders received a glowing letter from an unexpected source: the chairman of
"America is at its best when it leads," gushed Andrew Liveris. "Sound and predictable policy to address climate change will unleash investment in new technologies that will advance both energy security and sustainability."
Yeah, except every “green job” created with government money in Spain over the last eight years came at the cost of 2.2 regular jobs.
Such accolades are increasingly common from business leaders to Democratic congressional leaders, who are ushering in a new era of regulations on the environment, healthcare, and finance. Confronted by Democratic majorities, a Democratic president, and a voting public furious over Wall Street lapses, the business community, which once adamantly opposed almost all forms of government regulation and mandates, has opted to join rather than fight.
Which means they must be benefiting somehow!
"The crass political answer is that you're either at the table, or on the menu," said Peter Molinaro, a spokesman for Dow, explaining why Liveris chose to work with Democratic representatives Edward Markey and Henry Waxman on the climate change bill.
But Molinaro also said that by taking a seat at the table, Dow was able to get some satisfaction: The proposed new rules, while costly to the chemical industry as a whole, will also help companies create less waste and be more energy-efficient, he said, saving them money in the long run.
"It became natural for us to not just acknowledge the problem [of global warming], but in being part of the solution for it," Molinaro said. "It's for real. It's not just about image."
Yeah, yeah -- meanwile, it's another below 70-degree May day here (brrrrrrr).
