Our economy remains unstable and recovery is far from complete. There are Democratic Party agenda items that can and should be deferred, particularly when implementation will place a financial burden on businesses, and create a competitive disadvantage for businesses selling internationally. Pursuing a carbon tax or cap-and-trade system or any other pro-environment tax, fee or mandate, now (or at any time prior to economic recovery) is fiscally reckless. The risks (or the near certainty of economic stress) massively outweighs the benefits.
