Typical “PROGRESSIVE” actions.
And the best part is, it won’t do a damned thing to combat the hoax that is “global warming”. We will still hear about how it keeps getting worse, how still MORE must be done (at taxpaper’s expense, of course).
“...would increase the costs of living for the poorest American families an additional $19 billion per year...”
No, it won’t. They will be subsidized with additional taxes on everyone else. Problem solved!!
Why doesn’t Obama put forth a plan to fight the Easter Bunny?
He is about as real as so-called “climate change.”
Gentlemen...there is nothing new under the Sun.
(The “why”...”why it works”....philosophical...long but good. It’s an old story.)

Patriots, we need to stop blaming everything on Obama.
More specifically, regarding Obama’s PC global warming plan, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for environmental issues like global warming.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
And by remaining silent on Obama’s PC global warming plan, corrupt Congress is actually letting Obama get away with stealing 10th Amendment-protected state powers, and associated state revenues, to implement his climate plan.
In fact, the Founding States gave the “power of the purse” (1.7.1) uniquely to the House of Representatives (HoR). This means that the HoR uniquely has the power to appropriate taxes. So the corrupt, RINO-controlled House, with the help of the likewise corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate, is supporting Obama’s unconstitutional global warming plan by stealing state revenues, by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, to fund this plan.
Federal lawmakers are probably letting Obama get away with stealing state powers and state revenues so that Obama can do Congress’s unpopular, unconstitutional legislative work for it. By letting last-term Obama get away with stealing state powers and revenues, corrupt federal lawmakers are able to keep their voting records clean, probably so that they can continue to fool low-information patriots into reelecting them. (Patriots need to reconsider the 22nd Amendment.)
Remember in November !
If patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to not only support the president, but also surrender back to the states state powers and state revenues that the corrupt feds have not only been stealing from the states, but are unconstitutionally giving to foreign nations.
In fact, note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
No cost is too high for Obama as long as it will destroy America.
“....estimates that Obama’s global warming plan would increase the costs of living for the poorest American families an additional $19 billion per year,....”
Figures the “plantation dwellers” are too stupid to figure it out and will follow the orders of their betters!
Our Marxist government would find a way for working Americans to subsidize all costs.
Just, you know... forget about that vacation or the braces for the kids’ teeth.
Let’s see if I get this right:
It will cost the poorest more. The cost rises but now the need to raise welfare payments to meet the rise is necessary. Cost of living rises...welfare payments increase...everyone not on welfare pays more to the government...more get on welfare.
Sounds like a good plan to financially enslave more bums in the welfare plantation to me.
