BO's freight train of the Socializing of America kept steamrolling through the House yesterday with the passage of the American Clean Energy & Security Act (also known as "Cap & Trade") by a margin of 219 to 212. The 1200 page bill was introduced earlier in the week & a 300 page addendum was added @ 3 AM on the day of the vote so we can once again safely presume that no Member of the House read it prior to the vote. The bill is being rushed through because the temperature of the earth may be 0.1 degree C higher 100 years from now. I wish the people who voted for the bill were half as concerned about Social Security which is scheduled to draw on the fictitious Trust Fund in 6 years.
Although Cap & Trade still must pass the Senate we should resign ourselves that it will become law one way or the other because BO has the votes for it to be followed by universal healthcare, union card check, the further nationalization of businesses, & comprehensive immigration reform which will ensure his reelection as he gives away your Social Security & Medicare benefits to the poorest most uneducated people he can naturalize - all of which will lower our standard of living as it destroys our free market capitalistic system thereby making us totally dependent on government.
In summary, under Cap & Trade the federal government will initially set limits on the total amount of carbon that can be emitted nationally. The government will then sell permits to businesses who can trade these permits to other businesses. Of course the consumer will pay the cost of the permits as the government gobbles up more & more of your wealth & income as these permit costs are just passed along the same way any costs are for a company that can stay in business. Over time the caps will be lowered to reduce the level of carbon dioxide - the very same gas we exhale. The Heritage Foundation has calculated that the cost of this program will be $1870 for a family of four in 2020 rising to $6800 by 2035 - so plot your own cost curve for you & your family from now to $1870 & then to $6800.
Cap & Trade Will Impose a National Energy Tax on Every Single American, Will Cause Electricity Bills to Skyrocket, Will Cost American Jobs - Shipping Them Overseas to China & India, Will Not Improve the Environment, Will Cause Gasoline and Diesel Prices to Spike Further, & Will Send Billions of U.S. Taxpayer Dollars Overseas
Below are the list of Congressmen who voted for Cap & Trade - the biggest redistribution of wealth ever. If this is important to you please check to see if your Congressman is on the list & do everything you can to see that he is not reelected in 2010. He is counting on being one of the government elites who will not be affected by Cap & Trade even though you will be.
But maybe I have overreacted. After all the kids are just out of school & people are planning on going on vacation hoping to relax, forgetting about this stuff so that they can enjoy themselves. It will all still be there when they return. Or will it?
