| #3 I wonder if the Central Committeeâ„¢ suddenly discovered that Free Moneyâ„¢ in the form of First World Climate Payola -- wasn't happening. ...and cheap windmills, PV cells and other "green stuff" wasn't coming from China any more. Basically there is no Magic Unicorn and somebody is going to pay for the scam. |
