The godfather of the Goldberg Act:
Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus on Wednesday proposed consolidating or wiping out scores of tax breaks the government offers to promote clean energy and efficiency
---a radical makeover that would offer incentives for natural gas, nuclear power and other low-carbon sources while junking other benefits popular with consumers.Baucus’s draft calls for simplifying and extending a convoluted patchwork of incentives while slashing their roughly $150 billion price tag over the next decade by more than half . . . Baucus would use the savings to help finance a cut in the top corporate rate of 35 percent.
Because tax cuts for job creators---who aren't creating any jobs that pay decent money---is more important than giving people incentives to purchase electric cars and solar panels. I believe this approach to fiscal policy is called "supply-side" economics, and we all know how well that's worked.
