Manchin/Schumer bill a potential 'climate catastrophe”.'

from Progressive News Network

The much heralded Manchin-Schumer Reconciliation bill is a SCAM. The tax reforms which originally included the eradication of the 'carried interest loophole' (which allows the rich to hide their true wealth), has been tossed thanks to Senator Kyrsten Sinema. Ironically, that's not the worst of this dirty dog of a deal. The 'alleged' environmental reforms, (which do include some tax monies for cleaner, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind), comes with a giant giveaway to the fossil fuel inudstry in terms of cheap, taxpayer subsidized opportunities for fossil fuel producers to lease PUBLIC LANDS for pennies on the dollar. This foul deal has been called out by some environmentalists as a major "climate bomb." One of the giveaways is the Mountain Valley Pipeline which carries shale gas. What mainstream media doesn't tell you is that 'shale' gas IS tar sands oil, the dirtiest of all fossil fuels. Furthermore, this pipeline will not benefit the American people with lower prices at the pump, as the tar sands being transported are destined for export to other nations. You have been lied to and now is the time to demand substantive reform. And of course, we have our "Jackass of the Week" Award. Come join me. Jeanine
