The master plan is to raise energy costs to reduce our abilty to move freely. Once movement is managed, strict goverance is more manageable. Look for examples such as this: All higher air prices do is reduce Americans ability to move freely, so of course, those with that desire will support it... The real question is how much support does this have?
Yes. This thinking is also behind the idea of federal health care and in fact ALL “national plans”....removing the power of individuals and the states to govern.
Once a person cannot say, “Hey, things are better over in [Texas, Georgia, North Carolina]. I think I will move there,” the feds will be in control of even MORE of your liberty.
“The real question is how much support does this have?”
I’d like to think ZERO support on the Republican side in the House, making it DOA. But with Boehner and the rest of those clowns, you never really know.
