Huzzah for Biden
While I’m not swoony eyed about the Obama nomination, and still have many reservations about the massive tax and rebate plans he’s outlining, and am vehemently opposed to cap and trade and the nebulous secondary markets it will create instead of implementing a straight carbon tax, I am heartened that Senator Joe Biden has been added to the ticket. I imagine that there will be times that Obama will be talking to his advisors and they’ll be nodding like bobble heads and Joe will say “what the hell are you talking about? I have no idea what you’re talking about! Listen, the numbers don’t add up!” Does Biden have drawbacks? Oh my yes. But on the whole he’s been a good legislator and has added some tough questions to the hearings he’s participated in.
