Lieberman-Warner dolla billz

How the $5.7 trillion in Boxer’s proposed amendment would be spent 1

Muckraker: Grist on PoliticsBarbara Boxer distributed this breakdown [PDF] yesterday detailing how the dolla billz will be spent in her proposed amendment to the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act. There are more than $6.7 trillion in carbon credit allowances and auction revenues that will be distributed over the life of the bill, and this shows where that goes. Feels a bit like Monopoly money, doesn't it?

Kate Sheppard is Grist’s political reporter.

    Can't help but notice......that the largest amount by far ($955 Billion) goes to defecit reduction.
    Global warming is not concerned about the defecit.
