Oh, NOW Polis is worried about the economy

Governor Jared Polis attempted to preemptively shift blame for the economic destruction of Colorado onto, you guessed it, President Donald Trump. What better person to blame than the mainstream media’s favorite political target?
Now, this is old news, but we would be remiss if we did not take the opportunity to call Polis the hypocrite that he is.
Polis recently went on the Denver Channel’s Politics Unplugged to say that President Trump’s proposed tariffs would harm Colorado’s economy. We don’t necessarily disagree, because tariffs are taxes and taxation is theft, but Trump’s tariff threat was successful. If you missed it, we recently wrote about the conundrum of Trump’s tariff threat here.
But, let’s be honest. After signing economically destructive legislation like the moratorium on oil and gas in Colorado, Polis is acting like a hypocrite. The attack on Colorado’s energy industry didn’t stop there. Polis appointed anti-energy activists to the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and mandated zero-emission standards by executive order.
Between efforts to raise our taxes and regulate responsible and affordable energy production to death, Democrats have no room to talk.
If anyone should have a finger pointed at them when Colorado’s economy declines (or tanks), it is Governor Polis and his cronies in the legislature.
