I think carbon credits was originally a republican idea too. I wasn't going partisan on that comment. But since you brought it up, the misrepresentation from the left concerning the health care bill was that it was cost neutral, that it would insure everyone, that it would bring down health care costs, that it didn't rape medicare, that taxes weren't going up on middle class, that's it's not a payoff to big pharma or insurance, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.I have said my piece on carbon credits - I made enough money off of them and now I don't care if they get shunted aside. I don't know how well CCX is operating now. A terrible health care law was not the result of misrepresentation on the left gin, but on the right. Had they acknowleged that there was a problem and that it was fixable, we might have had a much better one.
Agree with the bold though, the republicans didn't admit there was a problem until they had to. I think I'm glad they didn't tackle this during Bushney terms though, it might have been even worse, look at the bills passed during that time. Once Obama took office, it was pretty clear it didn't matter at that point what republicans did, the sausage making would not have changed ingredients. 2010 was the reaction to all of those etcs.
