“”Dude, gold is going to $1,200/oz. Monday.””

________________________________________________________

Maybe not quite to $1,200 on Monday, but pretty darn soon. Article this evening at Bloomberg News, says Japan, South Korea, and China are flipping Barry the bird and pretty much saying they won’t be buying the massive debt this country is going to have to sell under Obanomics.
That leaves the printing presses.

"Businesses don’t own the sky,

And neither does the US government.

What makes him think that the government should profit from the pollution that is created?

Oh foolish me. Just another tax and spend liberal.

What a maroon!

300 billion per year for a non-existent problem.

Well, at the rate the Treasury is printing money, I suppose by that time a loaf of bread will be 300 trillion dollars.

My husband works in a coal-fired electric plant. o’dumbo
is trying to put my husband out of a job. Now how in the heck is the economy going to be helped by cutting the jobs of tens of thousands of people employed in the coal industry.

And demonizing the private jet industry is another economic downer: When the local Gulfstream plants lays off employees, then it trickles down to the restaurants, auto dealers, grocery stores, home depot, etc. etc.

Oh, and at least half of the employees at my husband’s plant are black. Wonder how they’re gonna feel about hussein after he costs them THEIR jobs.

Don't worry about not having any CO2. The ocean is a massive reservoir of CO2. When temperatures rise, the solubility of the CO2 in the warmer ocean decreases and the concentration in the atmosphere rises. Just like a warm carbonated beverage. Rising CO2 levels are a TRAILING indicator of increasing temperatures, not a CAUSE of increasing temperatures. The idiot "climatologists" with a leftist agenda have things bass ackwards. The whole "global warming" agenda is really a socialist, anti-capitalist agenda based on false premises. Unfortunately, our children and many adults have been dumbed down by the leftists running the public schools. They are easily mislead by those with an agenda.

In plants, some of the CO2 becomes fixed as the "woody" part of the plant. Some gets converted into sugars and starches. The plant can use the sugars and starches for energy in the absence of light. It is under that circumstance that CO2 is emitted. Under conditions where light is present, photosynthesis is actively supplying the energy necessary to fix CO2 into useful carbon compounds (sugar, starch, amino acids, cellulose). In general, plants cause a net intake and fixation of CO2. Soil bacteria assist by fixing nitrogen as nitrates that are soluble and used in the production of amino acids.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the permits would raise up to $300 billion a year by 2020.

They won't be in office in 2020, hopefully. The Republican Party (the New Conservative Constitutional Republican Party) will have worked long and hard to "undo" the current President's mistakes and Congress's errors by the year 2020.

MSM acts as if he's President for Life and that Congress won't have different members. In 2010 there'll be a big shake up in Congress.

Come, it must.

–That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Generalissimo Zero will propose a massive business tax on greenhouse gases,,,

If you can’t close the price gap, by making “green” energy cheaper — simply make the old standbys more expensive.

Then you provide Energy Welfare. Here in Missouri this is how it is done.

Missouri Department of Social Services (Welfare Missouri)

Low Income Home Energy Assistance (Energy Welfare)

The Missouri Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has two components: Energy Assistance/Regular Heating (EA) and Energy Crisis Assistance Program (ECIP). EA is designed to provide financial assistance to help pay heating bills for Missourians during the months of October, November, December, January, February, and March.

Eligibility requirements for EA are based on income, family size, available resources and responsibility for payment of home heating costs.

Eligibility for EA may also qualify individuals for additional financial assistance through ECIP and/or weatherization services funded by LIHEAP.

Full information for Missouri is found at http://www.dss.mo.gov/fsd/liheap.htm

To see how it is done in your state: Goggle Energy Assistance , your state.

Just another way to "redistribute the wealth"

People you need to understand. He knows this will cripple the economy, he knows this will put people out of work, he knows that he will need to print money endlessly which will devalue the dollar. This is all in his (their) plan . . . taking America apart into a totalitarian state.

People say it’s time to revolt. I say I’m ready. Is it going to be planned, or is it just going to boil over at some point into total civil chaos. We need to get these people out of control. I pray that the CIA or some underground group has begun developing a strategy. At this rate, in six months we want recognize America.

Nationalize banks, gasoline tax, carbon tax.

Keep in mind Paulson and Congress effectively nationalized the banks last September and McLsme was ready to screw us over with some kind of global warming scam. Better to have this one around Xero's neck once people see their bills and read more about what a scam this is.

Zero means zero republican votes!
