Lars Larson on “Cap and Tax”
Thursday, May 28. 2009
Late last week we finally got a look into some of the details of that crazy “Cap and Trade” scheme (I like to call a “Cap and Tax” scheme) that the U. S. Congress is considering.
First of all, it’s almost a thousand pages long. Do they have speed readers looking at that thing so that Congress actually knows what’s in it?
One part in particular seems to be especially telling to me. The President is trying to sell this crazy scheme and says it will create new jobs. If that’s true, why is it that on one of the pages of that 900 page bill, they are actually providing for three years of unemployment payments and a lot of other payments to all the people who are going to lose their jobs.
If it’s really going to create all this new economic activity you’d think you wouldn’t have to provide (no joke here) 156 weeks of unemployment payment for the people who are going to lose their jobs.
It’s like the entire government is a bunch of corrupt goons.
</sarcasm>
I spent a good part of the last weekend reading as much of this POS as I could. Noted the provision for reeducaiton and benefits for all the jobless created by this treason document.
The section on Nuclear and alternate energy only mentions nucs in the heading. I did a word search for it and found one instance.
The whole bill is a farce adn misleading.
Have they figured out how they are going to pay for this or is this just a ruse to capture votes? If it’s true; those that still have paychecks might as well endorse them over to the government.
3 years to retrain for a “green” job - and a LIFETIME to subsidize it !
