even lisa jackson, the head of the environmental protection agency said that they would be -- that if the united states alone passed something to stop to -- to stop the different emissions, co2 emissions, it wonk have any effect globally because that's just the united states doing t in fact you could argue it had just the opposite effect because power companies -- companies seeking power would have to go to cps countries where they didn't have these restrictions and it would actually increase co2. the bottom line was that i made the comment -- this has been now eight years ago the idea that catastrophic global warming is a result of man-made gases is the greatest single hoax ever perpetrated on the american people. everybody hated me now it looks like we won that argument. i mention this because i am very much concerned -- i understand the argument on both sides of the whole thing about the earmarks. and i had put up my number one chart there. kay and i have 20 kids and grand kids. this little guy right here came up to me and he said, pop-i.
