The Obama administration itself estimates that cap and trade will involve increased costs from 2012 to 2019 alone of $645 billion, and admits in its own budget that the actual costs could be much higher than that, depending on permit prices over those years. Indeed, other estimates put the costs three times higher. So the increased burden on each Ameri can over this period alone would be $2,100 to $6,300. For a family with two children, that would be $8,400 to $25,200, with much more to come after 2019. These increased costs are effectively a new tax on the American people, even though Obama promised in his campaign that there would be no tax increase for the bottom 95 percent of income earners.

How about starting with books.
“Heaven and Earth - Global Warming: The Missing Science”
by Ian Plimer
is a good place to start. I have never, ever seen the global warming lunatics put so firmly in their place (and into historical context). Dr. Plimer is an Australian Professor of Geology and provides over 2,000 footnote references to back up his assertions. No one in their right mind who reads this book could possibly subscribe to the human induced global warming nonsense.
Locally, Alabama Power failed to renew its contract with local coal mines. More people out of work (high paying jobs in mining here)in this area that has already lost a great deal (most) of mfg.companies.
What they are using to produce electricity I do not know, but am sure it will cost more.
My husband heard on tv today that people earning over $35,000 a year will have a hefty income tax increase next year. I do not know if it was a pundit projection(probably) or an announcement from the govt. "O" has already laid the ground work by announcing the present spending is unsustainable, while at the same time continuing to spend--latest is to bail out CA.
This admin. just wants to destroy capitalism and control everything.

Crap and take, government health care and green energy will destroy America. The American people better hurry up and pull their heads out of the sand because they are running out of time.
Books to read:
Climate Confusion, by Roy Spencer
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, by Dennis Avery and Fred Singer
Both can be found at amazon.com Not sure about public libraries, since both books rip up the man-made global warming hoax, and would not be politically correct for a county or city to purchase.
Maybe this is the big one Biden warned us about- at first we'll not agree with him but later will realize he's made the right choice.
Faith in the Feds has probably never been this low. From Hussein to Pelosi and Reid, I can't imagine a more disfunctional crew. Coupled with a crippled economy that they themselves played a major part in wrecking, this is really bad timing.
The various states should threaten secession until the fed understands their 'limited' role in the government of this republic. Afterall, they (feds) don't even exist when the 'pact' is dissolved. This administration is on thin ice but, to it's credit, it's Chicago pedigree may help them negotiate. It gets cold up there so having ice skates in the closet will help. We shall see.
“Obama needs to remember that most revolutions arise from the middle-class.
...which is exactly why he (and all statists) are out to destroy the middle class.
When the Bush tax cuts expire, the 10% bracket gets eliminated and other rates go back to BC rates.
He can impoverish it, but he can’t destroy it in less than one generation. An impoverished middle class is likely to be very angry....
cap and trade will involve increased costs from 2012 to 2019 alone of $645 billion... the increased burden on each American over this period alone would be $2,100 to $6,300. For a family with two children, that would be $8,400 to $25,200, with much more to come after 2019.
Thanks for the reference. Since the controversy over this half baked theory first began, I've been saving articles and bookmarking great websites that shine the light of scientific truth on AWG.
I've got so many now, that I have a separate folder on my browser for them.
I'll look up Ian Plimer's book.
Not if several thousand showed up, intermingled with a hundred thousand pitchfork packing patriots.
Of course, more muskets would be even better.
I've been saying for a while now, that our window of opportunity is closing on effective peaceful protests.
If we don't manage to get the traitors in DC to resign, or to back off of their Marxist agenda through peaceful tea parties, then we'll have to take it to the next level.
We'll either do that, or simply roll over and give way to a tyranny that will destroy all that's been built here in the last few hundred years.
Those are our only choices.
IN another long time ago thread, I theorized that subconciously the American public wants to end PC and get it over with quickly rather than go about it slowly.
If we had elected McCain, we would have moved towards a more conservative country slowly, but surely.
However, with Obama we’re getting a bit of a purge mounting. There’s a lot of mounting anger and hatred for everything we’ve had ot put up with from the left for the past eight years, 9/11 was the shift that they keep ignoring and the citizenry are sick of their denial that we are in a new world, a world where we have to start making sacrifices.
After a couple years Zero’s legacy will be the final break with the liberal chaos and stranglehold that RINOs and these useless idiots in Congress have on the gates to advancement in either the party or country.
It’s actually happening and I think it’s pretty cool to be actually living in a time when history is shifting.
In the past, Perez Hilton’s snotty remark about Miss California would have gone unnoticed, but instead people are standing up and telling these Hollywood dips that they are no longer going to get away with this sort of behavior anymore.
People on the left are no longer able to get away with any of this anymore and I think we’re going to see a very different campaign during the next election.
see post 91. I'd be happy to hear any ideas you got.
Be right there...
Cool.
That is what the idiots that voted for him wanted. They do not have the intelligence to realize that they will also be destroyed.
Soon the seeds that were sown on November 4, 2008 will be matured and ready to reap.
I sometimes think that the election of BO may be a blessing in disguise. The liberals are truly showing what they want to do with the country. The are showing their nastiness an intolerance openly. This is probably good for the young idiots and other fools that wanted to vote for a liberal. He could end liberalism once and for all if things keep going down the path that he is leading.
I felt that way too. I’ll try to find that passage I wrote and post it. I think it’ll give people an idea of what we’re going through.
Zero’s election was I think, a way for the majority to tell every jerk that now they have had everything they’ve wanted and expected gratitude. However, they’re asking for more and we have nothing left to give. Nor would we.
