We should all be demanding that any House member that approves of this along with voting for climate crisis (scam) measures should have to stop using fossil fuels (especially those funded by the taxpayers), turn the heat down to 60 in their offices, and not get meat in the House cafeteria, among others
House rules would exempt coronavirus, climate bills from budget limits
The new rules package for the 117th Congress unveiled by House Democrats on Friday would grant a sweeping new exemption from deficit controls for legislation related to the coronavirus pandemic or efforts to curb climate change.
The text of the resolution, which House leaders expect to take up Monday, would provide House Budget Chairman John Yarmuth, D-Ky., broad authority to “adjust” cost estimates for certain bills so that their budgetary impacts don’t count as increasing deficits under House rules.
In practice, the new section means legislation that fits within the two broad new categories doesn’t need to comply with appropriations limits affecting discretionary programs, or pay-as-you-go rules for measures affecting tax revenues and “direct spending,” otherwise known as mandatory programs.

The new language stipulates that “measures to prevent, prepare for, or respond to economic, environmental, or public health consequences resulting from climate change” wouldn’t be considered deficit-spending that requires offsets.
The same language applies to measures intended to address the “COVID-19 pandemic.” That could include much of the initiatives contained in earlier House Democratic relief packages that ranged in size from $2.4 trillion to $3.4 trillion in increased deficits.
I think we can all get the COVID part, but, this gives the unhinged climate cultists a chance to just waste taxpayer money willy-nilly on the climate change scam. And they will. If the GOP holds the Senate, will they hold strong on not passing this doomsday cult insanity?
