<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Warren Buffett repeats GOP talking points on energy plan]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by setb http://www.grist.org/article/2009-06-25-buffett-talking-points/ Fri, 26 Jun 2009 08:17:49 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/2009-06-25-buffett-talking-points/1 This isn't really a Republican talking point. I know that's a convenient strawman to throw up, but it's a real concern people on the left have as well.  

Remember, the CBO report that everyone is quoting looks at 2020 because that's when the CBO figured the economy would have had time to adjust to the regulations. That's a long way off, a half-dozen Congressional cycles and before reductions really begin to ramp down.  

Maybe this is what we have to do to pass something (anything!), but I think there is a real danger of political backlash here.
