Democrat climate initiatives in California under-achieve…unless you’re wealthy

Investor’s Business Daily editorial sums it up…“California’s Costly Global Warming Campaign Turns Out To Be Worse Than Useless”

As your Democrat politicians pat each other on the back “…a new report shows that despite the enormous costs of this effort, the state is doing a worse job at cutting CO2 emissions than the rest of the country, while badly hurting its working families.”

Democrat policies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions in California are “hampering the states’ economy, eliminating opportunities for working families, and increasing poverty. Housing and energy prices are climbing faster than the national average. Wages for Latinos, African Americans and the less educated have stagnated.” (underline added)

Democrat policy hurts middle/lower income families and the poor, but if you’re wealthy?

“…the imposition by the state’s Democratic Party leaders of highly regressive climate schemes have engendered disparate financial hardships on middle and lower income workers and minority communities, while providing direct economic subsidies to wealthier Californians in environmentalist strongholds like Marin County.”

(Emphasis added)

As usual, under the guise of ‘helping the environment’ the Democrats have managed to make things worse for the working class and poor, while subsidizing the wealthy.

Bottom line – if you’re okay with favoring the richkeep voting ‘Democrat’.
