I am deeply concerned about President Obama's cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage.
American prosperity has always been driven by the steady supply of abundant, affordable energy. Particularly in Alaska, we understand the inherent link between energy and prosperity, energy and opportunity, and energy and security. Consequently, many of us in this huge, energy-rich state recognize that the president's cap-and-trade energy tax would adversely affect every aspect of the U.S. economy.
There is no denying that as the world becomes more industrialized, we need to reform our energy policy and become less dependent on foreign energy sources. But the answer doesn't lie in making energy scarcer and more expensive! Those who understand the issue know we can meet our energy needs and environmental challenges without destroying America's economy.
Job losses are so certain under this new cap-and-tax plan that it includes a provision accommodating newly unemployed workers from the resulting dried-up energy sector, to the tune of $4.2 billion over eight years. So much for creating jobs.
In addition to immediately increasing unemployment in the energy sector, even more American jobs will be threatened by the rising cost of doing business under the cap-and-tax plan. For example, the cost of farming will certainly increase, driving down farm incomes while driving up grocery prices. The costs of manufacturing, warehousing and transportation will also increase.
The ironic beauty in this plan? Soon, even the most ardent liberal will understand supply-side economics.
The Americans hit hardest will be those already struggling to make ends meet. As the president eloquently puts it, their electricity bills will "necessarily skyrocket." So much for not raising taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year.

These vermin remind me of an ex son-in-law who truly does have mental problems and sits at his PC for hrs.zapping everybody he can with superior, mean spirited snide little comments. He draws disability and is really a genius in his own mind.
This is a good piece. Some of the comments wondered who wrote this. They evidently do not know Sarah has a journalism degree and it is hardly ever mentioned that she was the HEAD of the Alaska Energy Commission. Sort of like how "stupid" George Bush earned an MBA from Harvard and flew jets--boy, really stupid people do that every day.

Op-ed by Sarah Palin!
Libs are the most vile, disgusting people on the planet. They are worse then vermin, they mock her yet refuse to look at the idiot they put in the White House. He can’t even make a coherent sentence without the damn teleprompter in front of his face
BTTT
oh snap....’Cuda laying the first of many smackdowns on Obama....with snark. Game on!
...What is indeed most egregious about this Crap And Trade legislation is the injurious impact it will have on those who make the least in earnings, possibly having to be forced to make a choice between buying groceries, medicine, or simply keeping the lights on. That, ladies and gentlemen is not a pretty picture.
The biggest frustration for me is the fact we have an excessively stupid and selfish Democrat-led Congress whose members are primarily concerned with how much money they can raise for the next election cycle.
Read my tagline.....Have had it up since the third of July....She didn’t quit, she’s just gitten started.
Reagan is most remembered now for his sound and robust leadership ability but the foundation of Reagan’s philosophy was constructed during his wilderness years (1974-80)that allowed Reagan to reflect and read and do research to come up with that ammunition that would allow him to reinforce his arguments and make a stronger case. This is the Reagan that Sarah is now seeking to emulate. She will now have the time to attempt to do so.
Her ability to lead will come later.
“The best thing for Palin and this country would be if Palin emerged as something of a “shadow president” over the next few years, and this sort of stuff puts her well on her way.”
Just what is a “shadow president”? What are some examples of what a “shadow president” does?.
From the steps Gov. Palin has taken so far it looks to me that she understands exactly what she wants to do.
One thing that keeps going over and over in my mind is just where are the males in the Repub. Party with the cojones to do and say what Sarah is doing?
Yes, we can. Just not with Barack Obama's energy cap-and-tax plan.
LOL! Awesome!
No harm, no foul. :o)
The trick is to also include a search term with four or more letters, like cap tax DEAD:
The 'Cap And Tax' Dead End (Palin WaPo Op-Ed)
Sarah Palin-The 'Cap And Tax' Dead End
The 'Cap And Tax' Dead End by Sarah Palin
All I mean by a “shadow” president is someone who offers a reasoned critique of what Obama does and offers an alternative. Gov. Palin has a great opportunity to show this country, day in and day out, that she is ready to be President AND to highlight specific policy differences between the Obama administration and a future Palin administration.
I don’t doubt that Gov. Palin understands exactly what she wants to do (again, I did not intend my original post to be a criticism of Gov. Palin), I’m just offering my opinion as to what I think could be her best role over these next few year.
I went there and posted a few comments defending Palin but it is like 30:1 raving lunatic liberals!
Pinging you to a couple of good things to start your day with...Thanks for all you did for FR yesterday....
BTTT!
Whoot! Whoot!
The war begins here!
Throw in a mention of nuclear and she’s there!
Newt really talks a good conservative line most of the time, but I wouldn't vote for him.
As for this Daily KOS character, he posted to me something about a T-shirt and Sarah dragging her retarded kids around--really nasty stuff. I assume he meant about the Obama girl, but I never even saw that thread, much less posted to it. Mod withdrew it right away, right?

“So, at risk of disappointing the chattering class, let me make clear what is foremost on my mind and where my focus will be:”
There’s a laundry list of aholes this statement is meant for. Go Sarah!!
