Obama To Ask For $1 Billion Climate Change Fund

An anonymous reader writes "President Obama will ask Congress for a $1 billion 'Climate Resilience Fund' in his proposed budget next month. From the article: 'Obama is expected to release his proposed 2015 budget in early March. The prospects for the climate fund are uncertain in a Republican-controlled House. But Obama, who made preparation for climate change one of the major themes of the climate action plan he released in June, will continue to press for the need to adapt, according to the White House.'"

The free market fails with their money, the government fails with ours.
Almost.
It's all "our money". Who do you think performs the actual work that creates wealth?
The free market fails with the money they convince us to give them, either directly with investments. or through a bought and paid for government. The government fails with the money they confiscate from us by force.
