Carbon Cap & Scam Ping - (POGW)
Calling it 'dimentia' is like treating an amputation with a band~aid.

Barack Obama called for House passage of the cap and trade tax bill last Friday by calling it a jobs bill. The bill is designed to raise the price of energy in the U.S. so much that it will reduce the use of fossil fuels by 17% by 2020 and by 83% by 2050. Sentencing the U.S. economy to high cost energy is not a particularly good strategy for creating jobs. The Charles River Associates, a Harvard based economics consulting firm, estimates a net loss of jobs from the bill of about 2.5 million each year.
This is surely a gross underestimate of the net job losses from a bill designed to reduce the use of fossil fuels to the level in 1907. All those soccer moms better get used to riding their horses to the grocery store and back. And their husbands better get used to working the farms again, by hand, as high cost energy will chase remaining American manufacturing out of the country to India and China, which do not suffer from Al Gore's delusions about supposed global warming.
Yet Barack Obama calls it a jobs bill. This reflects a by now well-established pattern of deceptive, misdirection rhetoric, raising broadly appealing ideals in promotion of policies that would do just the opposite. For example, Obama is also trying to sell us a new health care entitlement, larger than any of our already grossly overgrown entitlements we can't finance, with the argument that it will actually reduce costs, even while CBO estimates that it will increase Federal spending by $1.6 trillion (woefully underestimated).
Earlier this year, Obama released his budget with great fanfare about how it would supposedly reduce the federal deficit in half in five years.

If Obama and the members of congress who voted for the biggest scam ever on this country called Cap and Trade, and don’t get 150 years in prison for it, then they owe Bernard Madoff an apology.

Calling it 'dimentia' is like treating an amputation with a band~aid.
The global warming tax is designed to destroy the economic well being of America and is but one more marxist ploy of the leftist communist democrats to push us out of jobs and homes and into the government run hovels of the cities is you could even find a job. Its working because of the stupidity of the leftist voters looking for change for the worse.
Listening to Obama and the Dems call the C&T a “jobs” bill is twist of logic right out of “1984”. Sadly, lots of the sheeple out there buy it and the MSM (witht the exception of Fox News and the WSJ) are merely accomplices.
They don't care how much of our money they have to spend in order to do something for the children.
Its a jobs bill for bureaucrats, lawyers and bankruptcy judges.
Thanx GOP....thanx a bunch. I feel so warm, safe and fuzzy knowing you guys got my back.
Now, how bout standing up and showing us you have some go-nads!!!!
Find a camera and a microphone....for crying out loud, SAY SOMETHING....anything that would show opposition!
The best site for contacting Congress is here
http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/
It contains local telephone numbers for their offices, and DC telephone numbers, mailing addresses and fax numbers and email numbers.
I recommend letters, faxes, and phone calls. Unfortunately the honorable Congress Critters appear to be operating independently and not as our elected representatives. They also appear to be bereft of their common sense. Perhaps we collectively can change that.
“...Barack Obama calls it a jobs bill...”
Makes sense to me comrade.
