Goldfarb, via Sullivan: "Basically, cap and trade strikes me as the Iraq war of the Democratic domestic policy agenda." Sullivan's analysis: "Pure Rove."
My question is, does Goldfarb not support the Iraq War? He doesn't believe that Iraq was a Glorious American War That Will Be Judged Correct By History? Or is he admitting that that particular right-wing meme is self-serving bs? And this is all nonsense. Great Britain has been operating under cap and trade for the better part of a decade, as has much of Europe. Conservative objections and the banking crisis aside, Europe survives. From the stats I've seen, there's no particular reason to think that cap and trade has severely clamped down growth. The sky hasn't fallen.
