…to push his big-government agenda. Shocking, I know.

…is financially ruining an entire class of investors. I agree with Ron Paul that it needs an honest audit.

The problem with “too big to fail.” It’s just another example of the knowledge problem.

The administration is figuring out a new way to screw us extralegally:

Negotiators at the conference are considering “a new tax on every foreign currency transaction in the world,” according to the Center for a Constructive Alternative (CFACT). “Every time you travel abroad, you’ll have to pay a climate tax,” explains CFACT, the group that released the “Climategate” emails. “More importantly, every time we import goods, every time we export our fine products (think jobs) we will do so with a climate tax skimming off the top.”

European countries would evade much of the tax burden, however, because “transactions within the Eurozone won’t have to pay this new tax.”

CFACT suggests that Obama is open [sic] implementing this tax and similar policies in the absence of a full climate treaty, which would require congressional approval. “We have learned that while many have discounted this conference, knowing that a full climate treaty is difficult to achieve especially with a U.S. Senate that will not vote to ratify,” CFACT says. “Obama and his fellow climate travelers are working around the Senate and planning to stick America with the bill.”

OK, I have no doubt that they’d like to do it, but how would it work without getting a treaty through the Senate? How would they actually enforce it, and what would happen when a bank or an individual got a judge to issue an injunction against it?
